About this map

Beaverhead National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in the Pioneer Mountains as it was documented in the early 1950s and updated in the 1980s. The area is defined by sharp peaks such as Tweedy Mountain and Torrey Mountain, which shadow a network of glacial lakes including Gorge Lakes, Glacier Lake, and Pear Lake. The presence of Winkley Camp and a Flume near DuBois Creek suggests a history of seasonal work or resource management in these upper reaches.

Water management and local transit are marked by the Mast Ditch and Thief Creek Road, showing how early infrastructure navigated the difficult terrain. Dozens of small water bodies like Lily Lake, Deerhead Lake, and Minneopa Lake dot the basins between ridges like Barb Mountain. This survey provides a record of the wilderness as it was managed before modern developments, tracing the paths of Mule Creek, French Creek, and the South Fork Thief Creek.
