About this map

Running Crane Mountain and Bullshoe Mountain anchor the high northern reaches of this Montana landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of high-altitude drainages, where North Badger Creek and its many tributaries, including Pool Creek and Kip Creek, carve through the steep eastern slopes. These waters converge and flow eastward toward the plains, reflecting a classic Rocky Mountain drainage pattern untouched by major modern infrastructure.

Lost Horse Camp stands as the primary named point of human activity, situated near the headwaters of Elbow Creek. This camp, along with named summits like Bruin Peaks and Goat Mountain, suggests a landscape primarily used for seasonal recreation and backcountry travel. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the ridges of Big Lodge Mountain and Tent Mountain, which overlook the winding course of Lodgepole Creek.
