About this map

Moose Creek Plateau and the Madison Plateau dominate this high-altitude landscape where the borders of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming converge. The area is defined by its drainage networks, with North Fork Split Creek and the Middle Fork Split Creek carving through the western reaches, while Boundary Creek and Cascade Creek flow toward the south and east. The rugged topography is further shaped by Echo Canyon in the north-central portion of the quadrangle. Human activity is limited to a small network of access routes, including the Black Canyon Loop Rd and the Natl Forest Develop Road 410 Trl. These corridors suggest the area's primary use for forest management and backcountry recreation, preserved here in their early 21st-century configuration.
