About this map

Helena National Forest lands dominate this part of Broadwater County, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by a complex network of gulches and ridges. The site of Hassel sits at the junction of several drainages, including Indian Cr and McCuin Spring. This area is characterized by its vital water sources, from Elkhorn Spring to Merrill Spring, which have long supported cattle ranching and early prospecting in the region.

The southern portion of the map transitions into the Limestone Hills, including the NG MTA Limestone Hills military training area. Distinctive landmarks such as Big Mtn and Glendale Butte rise above the winding Crow Creek and Slim Sam Cr. Modern recreation is represented by the Eagle Interpretive Short Loop near Long Park, while traditional land use is evident in the irrigation works of Dowdy Ditch.
