2017 Map of Windy Hill

About this map

The Beaverhead National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of several critical drainages emerge. Carved by the W Fork Madison River in the south and the Elk River in the north, the terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines including Landon Ridge and Crater Ridge. This map illustrates the intersection of Madison and Beaverhead Counties across a series of prominent peaks such as Windy Hill and Fossil Peak. The primary access through this wilderness is the Gravelly Range Rd, which traverses the Gravelly Range along the western edge. Small alpine water bodies like Fault Lake and Blue Lake sit tucked within basins, while named features like Wolverine Basin and Elk River Basin indicate the complex network of glacial and erosional valleys that shape the hydrology of the Madison River watershed.
