About this map

The high ridges of the Pioneer Mountains dominate this 2024 map within the Beaverhead National Forest. This section of Beaverhead County is defined by prominent peaks including Storm Peak, Beals Mtn, and Sugarloaf Mtn, creating a watershed that feeds numerous drainage systems. These alpine heights transition into deep basins and gulches, such as Louie Lowe Basin and Dark Hole, where seasonal springs like Lelow Basin Spring Number Two and Upper Browns Gulch Spring provide vital water sources in an otherwise high-elevation landscape.

Accessibility is limited to a few rugged routes such as Cherry Creek Rd and Rock Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the drainages. The presence of Lake Agnes in the southern portion of the quadrangle serves as a significant high-altitude landmark. For researchers, the map provides a contemporary view of these established forest boundaries and the persistent naming of geological features like Morrison Hill and Sassman Gulch that have defined the local geography for generations.
