About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape where Granite and Deer Lodge counties meet. This 1971 field-checked survey reveals a wilderness defined by glacial lakes and subalpine meadows, centered on the Anaconda-Pintlar Wilderness. The topography is marked by significant peaks like Rainbow Mountain and Kurt Peak, while the drainage basins feed remote water bodies such as Storm Lake and Upper Seymour Lake.

Resource extraction and early recreation are etched into the terrain through a network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails. Several unnamed Mines and the Sunshine Mine indicate the area's mineral prospects in the north, while the East Fork Reservoir suggests managed water resources on the western edge. Notable landmarks for navigators and surveyors include the broad expanse of One Hundred Acre Meadow and the high-elevation Goat Flat.
