2024 Map of Deer Park

About this map

Deer Park and the rugged northern reaches of the Horseshoe Hills dominate this portion of the Montana landscape, straddling the high-elevation boundary between Broadwater and Gallatin counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and gulches, including Windsor Gulch, Sawmill Gulch, and Miners Gulch, which reveal a history of resource extraction and timbering. Much of the northeast corner is managed as part of the Helena National Forest, where steep canyons like Rocky Canyon and Bear Canyon drop toward the riparian corridor of Sixteenmile Creek. A system of primitive roads, such as Stockburger Rd and Pack River Rd, provides the primary access to these isolated sections. The presence of Farley Spring and A Frame Spring highlights the critical role of water sources in this arid, high-country environment where narrow valleys like Cedar Hollow and Dry Hollow snake through the ridgelines.
