2020 Map of Torrey Mountain

About this map

Pioneer Mountains high peaks dominate this part of the Beaverhead National Forest, where the terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes and a dense network of alpine water bodies. Significant summits including Tweedy Mtn, Torrey Mtn, and Barb Mtn form a high-altitude backbone that feeds numerous drainages such as Gorge Creek and Birch Creek. The hydrology is remarkably dense, featuring clusters of small lakes like Gorge Lakes, Glacier Lake, and Minneopa Lake tucked into glacial cirques. This landscape shows a clear division between the high wilderness peaks and the lower-elevation access provided by routes like Birch Creek Road and Mule Creek Road. The map also details early land divisions and named topographical features like Sawlog Gulch and Armstrong Gulch, which suggest the historic importance of timber and drainage management in this corner of Beaverhead County.
