About this map

Vipond Park and the surrounding heights of the Pioneer Mountains define this high-elevation landscape within the Beaverhead National Forest. This 2014 survey reveals a terrain shaped by deep drainage systems and prominent summits, including Ponsonby Peak and Gray Jockey Peak. The map highlights the extensive network of canyons and gulches, such as Echo Gulch and Queens Gulch, which historically served as corridors through these mountains.

Evidence of historical land use and travel is found in the naming of clearings like Yanks Pasture and the logging or mining access provided by Quartz Hill Rd. Water features are scattered across the peaks, from the high Bobs Lake to the headwaters of Canyon Cr and Sheep Cr. The presence of several "PB" or private boundary designations suggests a complex history of land claims and interior holdings within the national forest boundaries.
