About this map

The Continental Divide serves as the prominent physical and political spine of this high-country landscape, marking the border between Montana and Idaho. This rugged stretch of the Beaverhead National Forest and Targhee National Forest is defined by a dense network of water sources and gulches. Named features such as Shearing Pen Gulch and White Pine Ridge suggest the area's history of livestock grazing and timber resources.

Hydrological data reveals a landscape punctuated by numerous named springs, including Magee Spring, Seybold Spring, and Buffalo Spring. These vital water points feed the complex drainage systems of Little Sheep Cr and its various forks. The layout of forest roads, such as Middle Fork Little Sheep Creek Rd, provides a clear view of the access routes used for land management and recreation in these high basins.
