2024 Map of Doherty Mountain

About this map

Deerlodge National Forest dominates the western slopes of this Jefferson County landscape, where the high point of Doherty Mtn overlooks a complex network of canyons and drainages. The Boulder River cuts through the center of the terrain, fed by tributaries including McKenna Spring Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Conrow Creek. This modern survey illustrates the current management of public and private lands, specifically highlighting the Farm Service Agency Interest of Montana tract north of Cottonwood Canyon. Historical transit routes and family-named locations are preserved in the naming of Wilson Park Rd and Boulder Cutoff Rd. The geography transitions from the steep relief of Black Canyon to the more open reaches near Negro Hollow and Red Hill, reflecting the varied ranching and forestry character of this Montana region.
