About this map

Bandbox Mtn and Tucken Mtn dominate the high-elevation landscape of the Little Belt Mountains within the Lewis & Clark National Forest. This montane region is defined by a series of significant peaks and deep drainage systems, including Gibson Peak and Sheep Mtn. A historical connection to the mining and transportation routes of the area is visible via the Yogo Trl and the noted Old Yogo-Town Ts, which cross the southern half of the quadrangle.

Water sources like Sage Creek Spr and drainages such as Yogo Creek and N Fork Running Wolf Cr carve through the terrain, creating complex features like Band Box Coullee and Sixteen Color Gulch. To the south, prominent rises like Kelly Mtn and Woodchopper Ridge overlook the various branches of Rickard Coulee, illustrating the transition from the high peaks of the north toward the lower coulee systems.
