About this map

Deerlodge National Forest and the peaks of Tol Mountain define this landscape along the border of Jefferson and Silver Bow Counties. The settlement of Grace sits along an indefinite boundary, serving as a central point in a topography marked by several Prospect and Quarry sites. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Little Pipestone Creek and Fish Creek carving through the high country, fed by numerous water sources including Cold Spring, Friend Spring, and the aptly named Poison Spring.

Transportation through the area relies on the Rader Creek Road, which winds through the northwestern corner near Nineteen Mile. To the east, the map identifies Cedric and the intersection at Cactus Junction, where Pipestone Creek meets the local road network. The inclusion of the Guide Meridian Jefferson and the Base Line provides a clear view of the public land survey system as it was applied to this Montana backcountry during the late twentieth-century revisions.
