2017 Map of Cherry Lake

About this map

Cowboys Heaven sits atop the high terrain of the Madison Range in this modern topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the boundary between the Gallatin National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest, showing a network of high-altitude drainages and ridges. Water flows from numerous sources such as Fuller Spring Cr and Saint Joe Cr, while names like Placer Cr and Alder Cr suggest the area's history of mineral prospecting. The survey captures various hydrological features including the Jack Cr Ditch and the secluded Cherry Lake. Significant landmarks like Red Knob provide orientation across the remote backcountry. This map is essential for understanding the late-2010s trail and drainage patterns of these protected Montana wilderness areas, including the t4s r1e and t5s r2e township divisions.
