About this map

Beaverhead National Forest covers this high-elevation landscape in Beaverhead County during the late 1980s. The map highlights a series of alpine water bodies and drainage basins, notably Brownes Lake, Lake Agnes, and Rainbow Lake. The topography is dominated by prominent summits including Storm Peak, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Beals Mountain, while the northern reaches include the named depression of Louie Lowe Basin.

Evidence of historical activity is found near the water, with several Prospects located between Brownes Lake and Lake Agnes, indicating the mineral interest that drew people to these heights. The complex drainage network is anchored by Rock Creek and Brownes Creek, which flow through deep gulches like Sassman Gulch and Jacks Gulch. This provisional survey provides a precise view of the terrain before modern digital mapping, documenting the established springs and natural landmarks of the Pioneer Mountains.
