2020 Map of Amelong Creek

About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this section of Sweet Grass County, where the high drainage basins of the Crazy Mountains feed into a complex network of creeks. The landscape is defined by its water systems, notably the Upper Big Timber Falls and the headwaters of Sweet Grass Cr. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Big Timber Canyon provides a primary corridor for travel along the Big Timber Canyon Rd, passing near the Big Timber CE Admin Site. Evidence of local water management appears with the Stocker Ditch, which draws from the mountain runoff. Prominent high points like Black Butte and Raspberry Butte provide landmarks above the deep incisions of Rough Gulch and Wolf Park. This 2020 map documents the contemporary hydrology and access routes within the national forest, including several named branches of Devil Cr and Amelong Creek.
