About this map

Quigley and the surrounding drainages of the Lolo National Forest dominate this landscape in the Sapphire Mountains of Granite County. The map details a complex network of gulches and creeks that feed into Rock Creek, a major waterway accessed by the namesake Rock Creek Rd. The terrain is characterized by high ridges such as Grizzly Point and notable crossings like the Welcome Sawmill Saddle, reflecting a long history of resource management and wilderness access.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous named landmarks including Gunbarrel Spring, Harrys Gulch, and Bear Gulch. The nomenclature often references past activity or localized naming, seen in features like Butte Cabin Cr and Sawmill Gulch. The presence of Brewster Creek Rd near Brewster Cr suggests established routes through these deep western Montana valleys, while various gulches like Colusa Gulch and Oasis Gulch provide specific points of reference for field researchers.
