2020 Map of Blue Stone Peak

About this map

Blue Stone Peak and the high ridges of the Bear Paw Mountains dominate this part of Blaine County, Montana. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations and complex drainage systems, where the West Fork Black Coulee carves through the central landscape. Transportation in this high-altitude cattle country relies on a sparse network of gravel routes, notably Warrick Rd and Lloyd Rd, which follow the natural contours of the drainages and gaps between peaks. Significant summits such as Sawtooth Mtn, Elkhorn Mtn, and Index Butte provide essential landmarks for navigation and land management across the vast public and private rangelands. The headwaters of Sand Cr and S Fork Cow Cr drain the northern slopes, illustrating the importance of watershed geography in this arid, high-country environment.
