About this map

Arrow Peak and the surrounding high country of the Lewis and Clark National Forest dominate this late 1970s study of the Highwood Mountains. The map details a landscape defined by significant elevation changes between summits like Lava Peak and North Peak, and the drainage systems of Thain Creek and Arrow Creek. Human presence is marked by isolated outposts such as the Highwood Guard Sta and small named locales including Briggs, Everly, and Loberg.

A network of primitive routes, including a prominent Pack Trail, winds through the canyons of the North Fork Highwood Creek and Thain Creek, illustrating how the area was navigated before modern infrastructure reached these heights. The boundary between Chouteau and Judith Basin counties cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, providing a precise reference for those researching land records or family locations near Birch Creek and Middle Fork Little Belt Creek.
