About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses the high-elevation landscape of this 2017 survey, where a complex network of ridges and watercourses defines the geography. The terrain is anchored by massive features such as Woodchopper Ridge and Ettien Ridge, with the latter giving way to the namesake Ettien Spring and the steep Ettien Gulch. This area serves as a significant drainage basin, where the Middle Fork Judith River and Lost Fork Judith River carve through the mountain front.

The presence of the Ettien-Russian Cr road provides a rare point of access through the southern reaches, connecting the elevations near Burnt Ridge with the deeper recesses of Russian Hay Canyon. This map details a wilderness area defined by its named coulees and canyons, such as Arch Coulee and Hay Canyon, illustrating the intricate natural drainage system that feeds into the Judith River watershed.
