2024 Map of Bald Hills

About this map

Old Baldy and the Bald Hills define the high country of the Little Belt Mountains in this modern topographic study of Meagher County. The landscape is dominated by the protected acreage of the Lewis & Clark National Forest, where a network of primitive routes like the Cow Coulee Trl and Bald Hills Trl provide access to the drainages and ridges. The hydrology of the region is centered on Tenderfoot Creek and its various tributaries, including the South Fork Tenderfoot Creek and Miners Creek. Numerous topographic features such as Rimrock Ridge, Strawberry Gulch, and Deadman Gulch illustrate the complex verticality of this part of Montana. This contemporary survey reflects the enduring character of these mountain lands, showing the intersections of forest service boundaries and the continuing importance of managed forest infrastructure like S Fork Tenderfoot Rd.
