2017 Map of Black Pine Ridge

About this map

Deerlodge National Forest encompasses the high country of Granite County, dominated by the prominent spine of Black Pine Ridge within the John Long Mountains. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by deep drainages and tributary systems, where Upper Willow Cr and Copper Cr carve through the timbered slopes. The map reveals a network of primitive and forest roads that trace the gulches, serving as vital infrastructure for land management and access. Named features like Huebeck Gulch, Arbuckle Gulch, and Swensen Gulch denote the localized geography of the region. The spatial arrangement of routes such as Black Pine Rd and Miner Gulch Rd illustrates how access has been carved into this section of the Northern Rockies, primarily supporting forestry and seasonal passage in the rugged Montana interior.
