1993 Map of Big Snowy Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Big Snowy Mountains dominate the central landscape of this 1993 study, anchored by the high elevations of Greathouse Peak and the prominent Knife Blade Ridge. This region of central Montana serves as a critical divide where the Lewis and Clark National Forest meets the surrounding high plains. The settlement pattern is defined by small railroad and ranching communities such as Judith Gap, Heath, and Buffalo, many of which follow the path of the Burlington Northern railroad. The map illustrates a complex drainage system where the Judith River and Flatwillow Creek collect water from numerous mountain forks and coulees. Notable geological landmarks like the Elephant Rocks and Castle Rocks rise from the foothills, while a series of elevated plateaus including McCartney Bench and Alaska Bench provide a distinct transition between the mountain peaks and the lower-elevation agriculture of the Ross Fork valley.
