2024 Map of Windy Hill

About this map

The Beaverhead National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Madison and Beaverhead counties. Centered on the Gravelly Range, the terrain is a complex of basins and peaks, including Cascade Mtn and Windy Hill. This modern survey reveals the hydrologic importance of the region, where the West Fork Madison River and Elk River draw from numerous tributaries like Hellroaring Creek and Nelson Creek. The isolation of the area is underscored by the singular presence of the Gravelly Range Rd, which provides the primary access across the elevated Gravelly Range. Geological features such as Crater Ridge and the Lobo Mesa further illustrate the distinct alpine character of these mountains, while high lakes like Fault Lake and Blue Lake offer clear landmarks for those studying the remote wilderness drainage patterns.
