1962 Map of Warren Peak

About this map

Anaconda Pintler Range peaks and the high-elevation basins of the Deerlodge National Forest dominate this landscape, which was updated based on 1950s aerial photography. The terrain is defined by the Continental Divide as it cuts across the high country, separating the drainages of the West Fork Fishtrap Creek and Mudd Creek. In the south, Pintler Meadows provides a rare level opening among the steep ridges of the Beaverhead National Forest. Historically significant routes like the Hi Line Trail and La Marche Creek Trail provided the primary access to this remote wilderness area before modern developments. Notable landmarks including Saddle Mountain and McGlaughlin Peak stand as prominent anchors for this section of the divide, while the existence of the Paddock Ditch suggests early efforts to manage water in these high alpine basins.
