2011 Map of Amelong Creek

About this map

Big Timber Creek carves a deep path through the eastern foothills of the Crazy Mountains, defining the southern landscape of this 2011 survey. The drainage network is dense and complex, featuring the convergence of North Amelong Creek, South Amelong Creek, and the main Amelong Creek stem. Human presence in this high-elevation terrain is centered on resource management and recreation, evidenced by the Big Timber Cr Admin Site and the Half Moon Campground near the dramatic Upper Big Timber Falls. To the north, the terrain transitions into significant high points like Black Butte and the natural depression of Wolf Park. The inclusion of the Langhus Airstrip highlights the specialized transportation needs required to access these remote reaches of Sweet Grass County.
