About this map

The Highwood Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Chouteau and Judith Basin counties. Situated within the Lewis & Clark National Forest, the terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits including Arrow Peak, Prospect Peak, and the basaltic formation of Lava Peak. This area serves as a critical headwaters region, with numerous drainages like Highwood Creek and its northern fork carving deep through the volcanic geology.

Logistics in this portion of the forest are centered on the Upper Highwood Creek Road, which provides access to the interior canyons. The presence of features such as Big Coulee and Cecil Coulee indicates a landscape shaped by significant seasonal runoff. Genealogists and historians will find the township and range lines, such as t20n r9e, useful for locating specific homestead or timber claims that once relied on water from Arrow Creek or Shonkin Creek.
