About this map

The Sun River Game Preserve Bdy defines the western half of this landscape, where the confluence of the North Fork Sun River and South Fork Sun River shapes the local drainage. Established within the Lewis and Clark National Forest, the area is characterized by high-elevation landforms including White Ridge and Sheep Mtn. A network of designated pack trails serves as the primary means of navigation through the steep terrain, connecting points of interest like Hazard Lake and the Cabin Creek Guard Station.

The map reveals a wilderness area at the border of Lewis and Clark and Teton Counties, where naming conventions often reflect local wildlife or geographic features, such as Moose Creek, Grouse Creek, and Elk Hill. The presence of the Two Shacks Flat and family-named landmarks like Furman Creek and Biggs Creek provides clues to early administrative and land-use patterns in this section of the Montana Rockies before modern development reached the deep interior.
