About this map

Crow Creek Falls and the headwaters of the Helena National Forest define this high-elevation landscape along the boundary between Jefferson and Broadwater Counties. The map reveals an intricate network of alpine meadows and high parks, including Airplane Park, Manley Park, and Poe Park, which appear as distinct clearings amidst the forested drainage basins of Crow Creek and Moose Creek.

Evidence of historical access and land use is found in the naming of remote features like Bonanza Ridge and Slim Sam Basin, alongside several springs such as Church Spring and Bomar Spring. The presence of the Eagle Interpretive trail and various forest development roads, including Jenkins Gulch RD, highlights the balance between resource management and recreation in these mountain ranges. The drainage patterns of Longfellow Clear Cr and Big Tizer Cr illustrate the complex hydrology feeding into the larger valley systems below.
