2024 Map of Amelong Creek

About this map

The Gallatin National Forest dominates this section of Sweet Grass County, where the high peaks of the Crazy Mountains transition into a complex network of canyons and gulches. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous drainages, including North Amelong Creek and South Amelong Creek, which converge as they flow eastward out of the high country. Historical land management and access are evident through the Big Timber Cr Admin Site and established routes like the Sweet Grass Trl and East Trunk Trl. A notable example of early water engineering appears as the Stocker Ditch, which follows the contours of the lower slopes. Geological landmarks such as Black Butte and Raspberry Butte provide distinct navigational points above the deep incision of Big Timber Canyon, while the Whiskey Big Timber Falls marks a sharp change in elevation along the area's primary waterway.
