About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of several major drainages begin. The eastern half of the map is defined by prominent peaks including Sunlight Peak and Black Mtn, which overlook a series of alpine water bodies such as Sunlight Lake, Campfire Lake, and Moose Lake. These features indicate a glacially sculpted terrain where the Middle Fork Sweet Grass Cr and Sunlight Cr originate.

Transportation into this backcountry is limited to a few specific corridors, including Porcupine Rd in the northwest and Middle Fork Horse Creek Rd to the southwest. The presence of the S Fork Shields River and its numerous tributaries, like N Fork Horse Cr and S Fork Daisy Dean Cr, illustrates the complex watershed patterns that define this part of the Crazy Mountains. Local topography is further marked by significant ridges such as Bald Ridge and the isolated summit of Sugar Loaf Mtn.
