About this map

Deer Park and the rugged border between Broadwater and Gallatin counties are captured here in the southern reaches of the Helena National Forest. The landscape is defined by deep incisions through the mountains, notably Rocky Canyon and Bean Canyon, while water sources like Farley Spring and A Frame Spring indicate the critical points of hydration in this high-elevation terrain. The settlement pattern is sparse, centered on small locales like Cedar Hollow and connected by a network of winding mountain roads.

The distribution of gulches such as Miners Gulch and Sawmill Gulch suggests a history of localized extraction and timbering that once supported the surrounding region. The southern edge of the map is dominated by the course of Sixteenmile Cr, which parallels Sixteen Mile Rd, providing a vital transit corridor through the Big Belt Mountains. This document records the intricate topography of a remote Montana wilderness at the beginning of the 2020s.
