1962 Map of Warren Peak

About this map

The high alpine crest of the Anaconda Range dominates this 1960s study, where the Continental Divide winds between Warren Peak and East Pintlar Peak. This high-elevation wilderness area is defined by its numerous glacial basins and lakes, including Tamarack Lake, Edith Lake, and Rainbow Lake, which feed the headwaters of the West Fork Fishtrap Creek and Mudd Creek. The rugged interior is crossed by an extensive network of footpaths, such as the Hi Line Trail and the Palisade Trail, highlighting the area's role as a remote backcountry resource within the Deerlodge National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest. At the lower elevations near the southern border, the map reveals Pintlar Meadows, a rare break in the timbered slopes. The presence of the Paddock Ditch near the eastern edge suggests early water management efforts to divert mountain runoff for use in the valleys below.
