About this map

Bitterroot National Forest defines the geography of this Ravalli County terrain, where numerous drainages carve through high-elevation points like Deer Mtn and Harlan Point. The landscape is a network of named gulches and flats, including Hamburger Flat and Rodgers Gulch, that feed into significant watercourses such as Little Sleeping Child Cr and the N Fork Rye Cr. The presence of Sleeping Child Springs and Cold Springs suggests a territory rich in natural water sources, which historically dictated the movement of livestock and early travelers through the mountains.

Logging and forest management are evident through the network of forest roads like Big Foot Rd and Lowman Cr Rd. These routes, along with the Lindsay Tr, provide access to points of interest such as Bobcat Saddle and Stonehouse Gulch. The map also documents public land survey system designations like PB 44, offering a precise record of land divisions in this part of Montana during the early 21st century.
