About this map

Driveway Peak towers over a complex network of drainages in this part of Sanders County, where the landscape is defined by the steep gullies and high ridges of the Bitterroot Range. The drainage patterns are particularly intricate, with Prospect Creek serving as a central artery for several named gulches, including Lucky Boy Gulch, Buster Brown Gulch, and Therriault Gulch. These evocative names suggest a history of prospecting and resource extraction that has long characterized this mountainous region of Montana.

Transportation through this high-elevation terrain is concentrated along Prospect Creek Rd, which follows the natural corridor of the valley. To the north, the headwaters of Clear Creek are fed by numerous small streams like Stick Gulch and Monroe Gulch. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the branches of Crow Creek, including the East Fork Crow Creek and West Fork Crow Creek, illustrating the profound role that water erosion has played in shaping the local topography.
