About this map

Old Baldy stands as a prominent high point in this 2017 survey of the Big Belt Mountains region. The landscape is characterized by a complex drainage network that feeds into Tenderfoot Cr and its tributaries, including S Fork Tenderfoot Cr and Coyote Cr. Much of the territory falls within the protected boundaries of the Lewis & Clark National Forest, where the terrain transitions from steep ridges like Rimrock Ridge to deep drainages such as Deadman Gulch and Strawberry Gulch.

The road network is sparse, with Chris Aren Rd providing one of the few named access routes into this mountainous terrain. The map meticulously documents the named coulees and gulches that define the local geography, such as Cow Coulee and Lobley Gulch. This data reflects the modern management of public lands, focusing on the preservation of the watershed and the natural landforms of the Bald Hills area.
