About this map

The Snowcrest Range dominates this late-1960s landscape, providing a high-elevation divide between Madison and Beaverhead counties. The area is defined by its network of drainages feeding into the Ruby River, including Beaver Creek and the South Fork. Human presence is marked primarily by infrastructure for forest management and transit, notably the Divide Creek Guard Station situated near the Centennial Road.

Backcountry access is highlighted by the Snowcrest Trail and Gilbert Trail, which navigate through distinctive alpine clearings like Honeymoon Park and significant peaks such as Stonehouse Mountain and Mount Carey. The map also captures the varied topography of several large basins, including Peterson Basin, Pole Creek Basin, and Eureka Basin, illustrating the complex watershed of the Beaverhead National Forest.
