About this map

Helena National Forest dominates the western half of this Montana landscape, where the Townsend Ranger District manages a rugged terrain defined by the Grassy Mountain range. The drainage pattern is complex, with Deep Creek and Castle Fork carving through the northern sections, while Battle Creek and its tributaries, including Little Battle Creek, flow across the eastern slopes. A distinct county line separates Meagher and Broadwater counties, cutting directly through the high ground.

Evidence of modern infrastructure appears at the Communication Site atop a prominent ridge, though the primary character remains wild. Significant elevation markers like Battle Mountain and Klondike Pass serve as historical landmarks for those tracing old mountain routes. The map records a transition between dense forest and the open drainages of Mike Day Creek and Hay Creek, capturing the topographic detail of the Big Belt Mountains area as it was surveyed at the turn of the 21st century.
