2014 Map of Bear Mountain

About this map

The settlement of Zortman sits at the southwestern base of the Little Rocky Mountains, marking a transition from the elevated peaks to the lower surrounding drainages. This landscape is defined by its numerous isolated buttes, including Coming Day Butte, Travois Butte, and Spring Park Butte, which rise distinctly above the drainage basins of Big Warm Cr and Beaver Cr. In the north, the Judith River Ridge defines the horizon, while the southern reaches are shaped by the winding paths of Beauchamp Cr and the presence of Ricker Butte. A network of rural roads like Beaver Creek Rd and Bear Gulch Rd connects the scattered landmarks and small settlements, such as the Youth Rnch, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure serving this portion of north-central Montana. The presence of Zortman Airport near the town center suggests a hub for local transit and firefighting or agricultural operations.
