About this map

Deerlodge National Forest encompasses the high-altitude landscape of Jefferson County in this 2014 survey. Centered on the prominent Whitetail Peak, the area is defined by a series of open mountain meadows and parks, including Little Boulder Park, Bakers Meadows, and Upper Whitetail Park. This configuration of high-country clearings suggests a history of seasonal grazing or natural openings within the timbered slopes.

The hydrology of the quadrangle is intricate, with the Whitetail Reservoir serving as a significant water feature in the eastern section. Headwaters and drainage systems like the Little Boulder River, Nez Perce Cr, and International Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the complex watershed of the Continental Divide region. The presence of named clearings such as Halfway Park and Lost Park further emphasizes the remote, alpine character of this protected forest land.
