About this map

Tepee Mountain stands at the center of this high-elevation terrain where the Continental Divide winds along the border between Montana and Idaho. The landscape is split between the Beaverhead National Forest and Salmon National Forest, with the state line and county boundaries for Lemhi and Beaverhead following the high ridges. This 1980s data highlights a wilderness economy defined by water and mineral exploration, evidenced by isolated markers like a Prospect and a Shaft located in the vicinity of Morrison Creek.

A complex network of drainages flows from the divide, including Medicine Lodge Creek and its many tributaries such as Erickson Creek and Hildreth Creek. The survey identifies specific landmarks for navigation and local history, including Long Canyon, Horsethief Creek, and the headwaters of Reservoir Creek. These features illustrate the land's transition from the Montana high country down toward the surrounding basins.
