About this map

The Custer National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape along the border of Sweet Grass and Stillwater counties. The Main Stillwater River and the Stillwater River dominate the drainage patterns of the area, fed by numerous creeks including Saderbalm Cr and Storm Cr. Notable elevations are marked by the prominent Cathedral Point and Cathedral Peak, while the southern reaches of the map feature the distinct Twin Peaks.

Alpine lakes such as Woodbine Lake, Nightmare Lake, and Roosevelt Lake are found throughout the difficult terrain, often associated with dramatic water features like Woodbine Falls. The cartography details a network of canyons and gulches, including Rabbit Gulch, which illustrate the complex watershed of the Beartooth region. This survey captures a moment in the modern management of these protected federal lands, showing the limited road access, such as Nye Rd, provided for backcountry exploration.
