2017 Map of B K Ranch

About this map

Helena National Forest lands dominate the southern portion of this landscape, where the high ground of Elk Ridge and Mil-mil- teh Hill overlooks a complex network of mountain drainages. The area is defined by its water systems, primarily the northern-flowing Hound Creek and its tributary E Fork Hound Creek, which gather moisture from the timbered slopes. In the northern reaches, the B K Ranch represents the primary human footprint in a region otherwise characterized by natural boundaries and remote terrain. The map meticulously documents the intersection of three counties — Cascade, Meagher, and Lewis and Clark — illustrating how these political divisions follow the ridgelines and water divides. From the headwaters of Beaver Creek to the winding course of Crooked Creek, the survey provides a detailed view of the high-country hydrology and primitive access routes like pvt1 that serve the ranching and forest lands.
