About this map

Carbonate Mine and the Edith Mine sit at the eastern edge of this landscape, marking the mining legacy of the Lewis and Clark County mountains. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system where the Blackfoot River meets numerous gulches and creeks, including the aptly named First Gulch through Third Gulch. Notable ranching properties like Fickler Ranch and Cox Ranch are situated along the valley floors, connected by remote routes such as Alice Creek Rd and Cadotte Creek Rd.

The geography is punctuated by significant crossings and landmarks, from the Cadotte Creek Bridge to the high point of Cadotte Pass. To the southwest, the Flesher Lakes lie near the headwaters of Hardscrabble Creek, illustrating the high-altitude hydrology of the region. This 2011 survey provides a clear view of the forest service roads and resource extraction sites that continue to shape this portion of the Montana wilderness.
