2017 Map of Giant Hill

About this map

Hassel serves as the central focal point in this high-elevation landscape within Helena National Forest. The map documents a terrain defined by complex water systems and naming conventions that suggest a history of prospecting and ranching, featuring numerous named springs like Elkhorn Spring, McClain Spring, and Aldrich Spring. To the southeast, the NG MTA Limestone Hills military training area covers the foothills, while the western portion is dominated by significant peaks and ridges including Big Mtn and Glendale Butte. The transportation network is built around specialized routes such as Silver Wave Rd and Crow Creek Rd, which navigate between prominent landforms like Giant Hill and Sagebrush Gulch. This 2017 survey provides a detailed view of the water management in the region, capturing infrastructure like the Dowdy Ditch alongside the natural drainage of Indian Cr and Slim Sam Cr.
