About this map

Mining claims and high-altitude lakes define this rugged portion of Beaverhead County. The northern terrain is marked by significant mining operations, including the Franklin Number 1 Mine, Shelly Mine, and the dual shafts of the Maynard Mine. These sites are linked by access routes like FS Road 2434 and Steel Fox RD, which also provide entry to the Steel Creek Campground along Steel Creek.

Southward, the landscape rises toward Odell Mountain and Stewart Mountain, with the hydrologic network branching into Warm Springs Creek and Pettengill Creek. Pockets of level terrain such as Moose Meadows and Triangle Park offer a contrast to the surrounding peaks. For those tracing the industrial footprint of the region, the location of the Coeur D'Alene Mine and the Last Chance - Sugar Load Mine provides evidence of the persistent search for mineral wealth in these remote reaches.
