About this map

Lewis and Clark National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Judith Basin, defined by the drainage network of the Middle Fork Judith River. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations such as Woodchopper Ridge and Ettien Ridge, which are accessed primarily by a system of rugged transportation routes labeled as Pack Trail and Jeep Trail.

Remote outposts like Kyrell Cabin and Burris Cabin indicate the area's history of seasonal habitation or resource management, while numerous water sources like Ettien Spring and Russian Spring highlight the critical role of hydrology in this environment. The presence of Lost Fork, West Fork, and South Fork converging in the southern sections illustrates a complex watershed system typical of the Montana wilderness before modern development altered these backcountry routes.
