About this map

Sixteenmile Creek carves through the southern portion of this landscape, marking a significant corridor at the junction of Broadwater and Gallatin counties. The small settlement of Deer Park is situated along this watercourse, adjacent to the Old Railroad Grade which follows the winding canyon floor. This infrastructure reveals the historical importance of the canyon as a vital passage through the mountainous terrain during the mid-to-late 20th century.

Elevations rise sharply into the Helena National Forest, where a network of drainages such as Sawmill Gulch, Windsor Gulch, and Timber Gulch define the topography. Localized landmarks like Farley Spring and A Frame Spring indicate the essential water sources in this high-altitude environment. Evidence of local industry appears at the Gravel Pit near Sixmile Creek, while the broader terrain is characterized by deep incisions like Bean Canyon and Rocky Canyon.
