About this map

The Charles M Russell National Wildlife Range defines the northern reaches of this Garfield County landscape, showcasing the deeply dissected breaks of the Missouri River country. The topography is characterized by intricate drainage networks, including the meandering path of Snow Creek and the distinctively named South Fork Hell Hollow. These seasonal watercourses reveal a land shaped by erosion, where elevation changes are marked by features such as Baldy Butte.

Evidence of land use in this semi-arid region appears through isolated water sources like the Well and various Springs located near the headwaters of the coulees. The map illustrates the specialized survey of a remote Montana wilderness area in the early 1970s, before widespread modern development, focusing on the natural contours and the essential water features like the South Fork that sustained this environment.
