2017 Map of Storm Lake

About this map

The Continental Divide defines the spine of this high-elevation landscape, where the Deerlodge National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest meet. This 2017 survey shows a complex hydrological network centered around Storm Lake and the E Fork Reservoir, with numerous glacial lakes like Emerald Lake and Flower Lake tucked into the cirques. The terrain is marked by prominent peaks such as Rainbow Mtn and Kurt Peak, with high passes including Storm Lake Pass and Cutaway Pass providing passage through the range. Of particular interest to those studying land use and topography is the broad, high-elevation alpine plateau of Goat Flat and the precisely delineated grazing or timber tracts labeled PB 45 through PB 50. Drainage patterns are clearly visible through Elk Cr and Storm Lake Cr, while open areas like One Hundred Acre Meadow break the forested slopes.
