About this map

Helena National Forest and Deerlodge National Forest meet in this Powell County terrain, where an intricate network of waterways defines the mountain geography. The drainage patterns of the Spotted Dog Creek system, including the Elliston Spotted Dog Creek and several forks, illustrate the complex hydrology of the Continental Divide region. To the south, Baggs Creek and Rocker Gulch feed into the North Fork Cottonwood Creek basin.

Transportation is limited to a few specific corridors, most notably the winding route of Emery Rd and the access point at Kading. This survey highlights the intersection of public land management and the natural watershed, with numerous named streams like Fred Burr Creek and Jake Creek carving through the township and range divisions. The absence of major settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of these national forest lands.
