2014 Map of Sugarloaf Mountain

About this map

Sugarloaf Mountain and Cliff Mtn dominate this high-altitude landscape along the Continental Divide, where the boundaries of Powell, Jefferson, and Deer Lodge counties meet. The settlement of Leadville serves as a primary reference point in a region defined by complex drainage systems, including the Boulder River and Cottonwood Cr headwaters. Industrial and historical interest is anchored by Schurchs Tunnel, located just west of Indian Cr, hinting at the mining legacy of these mountains. The terrain is a network of named peaks and ridges such as Black Mtn, Saratoga Mtn, and Blizzard Hill, much of which is protected within the Deerlodge National Forest and Helena National Forest. Road access is limited to mountain routes like Spring Emery Rd and Rock Creek Rd, reflecting the remote and topographic character of the Montana high country.
