2001 Map of Devils Footstool

About this map

Camp Baker and the winding Smith River anchor this central Montana landscape, where the Dry Range rises sharply to the west. This 2001 revision by the Forest Service highlights a rugged intersection of public lands, split between the Helena National Forest and the Lewis and Clark National Forest. The map documents a territory defined by high buttes and water rights, including Songster Butte near the Songster Mine and the prominent Devils Footstool landform to the northeast. Downstream from the confluence of Sheep Creek, the river valley narrows through a series of canyons and bars, such as Berkins Bar. The detailed network of mountain drainages like Eagle Creek and Slim Jim Creek illustrates the complex topography managed by the White Sulphur Springs Ranger District during the early 21st century.
