About this map

Bison Mountain and the Continental Divide dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Helena National Forest and Deerlodge National Forest. This section of the Montana Rockies is defined by a dense network of gulches and watercourses, including the Little Blackfoot River, Ontario Cr, and Sawmill Cr. A legacy of resource extraction is visible at the Irish Mine near Irish Hill, where local mining history meets the steep terrain of Baldy Ridge.

The presence of the Powell Co Jefferson Co boundary and the protected spaces of Blackfoot Meadows illustrate the intersection of administrative lines and wilderness preservation. Old routes like Ontario Creek Rd and Hat Cr Rd provide access through these mountain passes, while distinctive landmarks such as Treasure Mtn and Forbidding Ridge guide those navigating the high country south of the Little Blackfoot River.
