About this map

Deerlodge National Forest covers much of this landscape, where high peaks like Mount Pisgah overlook a complex network of gulches and drainages. The Little Boulder River and its various tributaries, including the North Fork Little Boulder River and West Fork Little Boulder River, carve through the terrain, supporting recreation sites like the Elder Creek Picnic Area. The northeastern corner transitions into the community of Boulder, showing the intersection of local infrastructure and the surrounding wilderness.

Industrial activity is evident throughout the area, marked by numerous mineral extraction sites such as the May Day Mine, Springtime Mine, and several unnamed Prospect and Placer Mine locations. These features, along with landmarks like Pulpit Rock and Doe Ridge, illustrate a landscape defined by both its natural geology and its history of resource exploration. The presence of the Boulder Work Center suggests the ongoing management of these public lands near the First Standard Parallel North.
