About this map

Lewis and Clark National Forest lands dominate this mid-1990s landscape in Meagher County, defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs. The northern portion of the sheet is anchored by Lake Sutherlin and the South Fork Eightmile Creek, while the southern reaches rise toward Limestone Ridge and Kings Hill Mussellshell. The map reveals a land utilized for both recreation and resource extraction, with multiple prospects and a Gravel Pit scattered among the high meadows.

Land management boundaries, including the Shields River Boundary and the distinctively named Checkerboard area, illustrate the overlapping jurisdictions of the era. Natural features like Horse Park and Richardson Park are interspersed with essential water sources such as Fourmile Spring, Upper Fourmile Spring, and Bair Spring, which likely served as critical points for both livestock and early forest travelers.
