2011 Map of Big Draw

About this map

Eightmile Creek and its many tributaries, including North Fork Eightmile Creek and Dry Creek, define the complex drainage patterns of this high-elevation landscape in Park County. The terrain is marked by distinctive local names such as Big Draw and the uniquely titled Point Stupid, suggesting a history of local land-use or noteworthy incidents in this mountainous region. The network of forest roads, such as 978 and 3104, provides access through Pole Gulch and Tie Gulch, indicating a landscape shaped by timber management or backcountry travel. To the south and west, the headwaters of Miller Creek and Fridley Creek flow through deep ravines, illustrating the intricate hydrology typical of the Montana wilderness at the start of the 2010s.
