2011 Map of Devils Footstool

About this map

The Smith River carves a winding path through this corner of Meagher County, serving as the central geographic feature of the region. This landscape is defined by its dramatic topographic rises, most notably the towering Devils Footstool in the northeast and the prominent Songster Butte near the river's bend. Evidence of historical land use and resource extraction is found at the Songster Butte Mine, while the Fort Baker Sportsmans Access indicates the area's continued importance for recreation and river navigation. Numerous tributaries, including Shannon Creek and Sheep Creek, feed into the main waterway, dissecting the terrain around local landmarks like Berkins Butte and Buck Gulch. Local transit is facilitated by primitive routes such as Chris Ahern Rd and Smith River Rd, which trace the high ground and riverbanks.
