About this map

Goat Peak and the high ridgelines of Lincoln County define this corner of Montana, where steep drainage basins feed a complex network of named creeks. The landscape is marked by the industrial history of the King Mine, situated on the eastern slopes above Silver Butte Creek. This 2011 survey captures the area’s topographic transition from the heights of Baree Mountain and Canyon Peak down to the creek beds of Galena Creek and Silver Bow Creek.

Resource extraction and mountain access are evident in the naming of Twenty Peak Gulch Ln near Twenty Peak, while the northern reaches remain defined by remote water features such as Bear Lakes and the headwaters of North Fork McKay Creek. The concentration of peaks including Twenty Odd Peak and Silver Butte Mountain underscores the vertical nature of the terrain, where narrow valleys like Twenty Peak Gulch provided the primary corridors for exploration and activity.
