About this map

The Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses the majority of this terrain along the border of Cascade and Meagher counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and elevated landforms, notably Blankenbaker Flats and the prominent Deep Creek Ridge. A central corridor of movement is marked by Logging Creek, which is flanked by rugged features such as Wild Rock Canyon and Big Timber Gulch.

Evidence of historical land use is etched into the topography through names like Sawmill Gulch and Wood Gulch, while Monument Ridge serves as a significant landmark in the southern reaches. The map illustrates a remote area accessed by primitive routes like Logging Creek Rd and the Deep Creek Loop, tracing the complex relationship between the high country and the watercourses of Sand Coulee Cr and the North Fork Deep Creek.
