About this map

Sixteenmile Creek and Sixmile Creek carve through the high Montana country of this 2001 revision, highlighting a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and deeply etched drainages. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is largely occupied by the Helena National Forest, managed under the Townsend Ranger District. This area is characterized by a complex network of named ravines and hollows, including Sawmill Gulch, Windsor Gulch, and Timber Gulch, which suggest the historic importance of timber and natural resources in the region's development.

Local landmarks such as Deer Park provide fixed points of reference amidst the varied terrain of Broadwater and Gallatin counties. The map also traces the First Standard Parallel North, a significant surveying baseline. Water sources are critical in this environment, as evidenced by numerous labels for Spring and Well locations, alongside seasonal features like Dry Creek and Dry Hollow. Navigation through this backcountry often relies on 4wd tracks, which connect the isolated gulches and canyons.
