About this map

The Highwood Mountains dominate the landscape of this 2017 topographic survey, marking the intersection of Chouteau and Judith Basin counties. Within the Lewis & Clark National Forest, the terrain rises to several prominent summits, including Arrow Peak, Lava Peak, and Prospect Peak. This high-altitude drainage basin is defined by a complex network of waterways such as N Fork Highwood Cr and Arrow Cr, which flow through steep canyons like Big Coulee.

Access to this remote mountain interior is primarily provided by Upper Highwood Creek Rd and Thain Creek Rd. The map illustrates a landscape largely shaped by its geologic history, evidenced by the numerous named peaks and coulees. For those studying the geography of central Montana, the sheet provides exact locations for landmarks like Windy Mtn and North Peak, alongside the transition from forest boundaries to the surrounding high plains.
