About this map

French Town sits at the junction of several drainage systems in this mountain landscape on the border of Deerlodge National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest. The area is defined by sharp topographic relief, including the prominent Dickie Peak and Johnson Peak, alongside numerous named gulches such as French Gulch, Coyote Gulch, and Minnesota Gulch. These narrow valleys suggest a history of resource extraction or early alpine settlement patterns common to this part of Montana.

Water features are abundant throughout the high country, from Fish Lake and Mud Lake to the headwaters of Long Tom Cr and California Cr. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the center of the map, tracing the high ridges between t3n r11w and t2n r11w. This map captures a modern view of a region where recreation and conservation now predominate over the old mining-era topography seen in German Gulch and Julius Gulch.
