2020 Map of Stine Mountain

About this map

The Wise River cuts a central path through this high-elevation reach of the Beaverhead National Forest, where the landscape is defined by the drainage networks of the Pioneer Mountains. Stine Mtn and Sugarloaf Hill rise as prominent landmarks above a series of drainages, including Pattengill Creek and Boulder Cr. The map shows a terrain shaped by alpine features like the Grouse Lakes and distinctive geological formations such as Eagle Rock and Needle Rock. Human presence is sparse, represented primarily by forest routes like Pattengill Rd and Harriet Lou Rd, which provide access to Ross Gulch and the surrounding wilderness. This 2020 survey documents the modern state of these protected lands, tracing the numerous tributaries like Stine Cr and Fourth of July Cr that feed into the region's primary river system.
