About this map

Helena National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Broadwater and Meagher counties. The area is defined by massive peaks including Boulder Baldy and Boulder Mtn, which serve as the headwaters for a complex network of drainages. To the north, Confederate Gulch, Irish Gulch, and Debauch Gulch cut through the terrain, while the southern reaches are drained by Duck Cr and its various forks. High-elevation water bodies like Camas Lake and Boulder Lakes sit tucked beneath the ridges, illustrating the glaciated character of the Big Belt Mountains.

Industrial and access history is visible through the primitive road system, including Blacktail Rd and Atlanta Creek Rd. These routes trace the narrow valleys of Blacktail Cr and Atlanta Cr, following the natural contours of the land. The topography reveals a landscape largely shaped by its hydrology, with significant drainages like Middle Fork Big Camas Cr and Little Camas Cr carving deep into Camas Ridge.
