About this map

Whitehall serves as the focal point for this high-altitude landscape, where the valley floor meets the eastern reaches of the Deerlodge National Forest. The geography is defined by the descent of Whitetail Deer Cr and Little Whitetail Cr toward the southern drainage systems. Local history is anchored by Old Whitehall and the nearby Old Whitehall Cem, which preserve the early footprint of the community before its primary center shifted south toward the Whitetail-Ditch.

Elevations rise sharply to the north and east, culminating in prominent landmarks like Black Butte and the high-altitude terrain of Houghton Park. The area transitions from the irrigated flats of Whitetail Valley to the rugged gulches and springs of the national forest, including Saint Paul Gulch and Tebay Spring. The presence of the Jefco Skypark Airport near the intersection of several local roads, such as Whitetail Rd, underscores the ongoing role of this corridor as a gateway between the valley and the surrounding peaks.
