2024 Map of Whitetail Peak

About this map

Whitetail Peak rises as a central landmark within this portion of the Deerlodge National Forest, where the high-altitude drainage systems of the Boulder Mountains define the landscape. The hydrography of the region is anchored by the Whitetail Reservoir to the east, fed by Little Whitetail Creek and surrounded by a network of seasonal and perennial flows including International Creek and Nez Perce Creek. The map documents a series of high mountain meadows or "parks," such as Little Boulder Park, Upper Whitetail Park, and Halfway Park, which historically served as vital clearings in the dense forest. Traverse through the area is primarily represented by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl, which winds across the southwestern ridges, following the natural hydrological divide of the continent.
