About this map

Highwood Baldy stands as a prominent sentinel within the Highwood Mountains, where the boundaries of Cascade, Chouteau, and Judith Basin counties converge. This mountain landscape is defined by a series of deep drainages such as Wildcat Coulee and Grouse Coulee that feed into the larger creek systems. The high country is protected as part of the Lewis & Clark National Forest, which covers the central and eastern sections of the terrain, including summits like Pinewood Peak.

Lower elevations show more direct evidence of human settlement and land management. The Big Willow Cem is situated near Big Willow Creek along Willow Creek Rd, serving as a vital point of interest for those researching local family history. A network of rural routes, including Jarvi Rd and Upper Highwood Creek Rd, provides access to the ranching and timber lands that surround Pirate Lake and Comers Butte.
