About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the heart of the Anaconda Range, marking the boundary between the Deerlodge National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest. This 1962 survey reveals a high-altitude wilderness defined by glaciated basins and prominent summits such as Warren Peak and Saddle Mountain. The landscape is characterized by its complex hydrology, with numerous alpine lakes like Rainbow Lake and Edith Lake feeding into the West Fork Fishtrap Creek and Pintlar Creek drainage systems.

Evidence of early land management and transit is visible through the extensive network of pack trails, including the La Marche Creek Trail and Hi Line Trail. The presence of the Paddock Ditch near the southern boundary suggests localized water diversion efforts, while named landmarks like Pintlar Meadows and Glover Basin provide specific reference points for researchers studying the historical geography of this section of the Montana Rockies.
