2014 Map of Hoover Spring

About this map

The Lewis & Clark National Forest spans this high-country landscape, where the headwaters of several significant Montana waterways originate. The terrain is a complex hydrologic divide where the N Fork Musselshell River and the N Fork Smith River begin their descent. Near the boundary between Judith Basin and Meagher counties, the namesake Hoover Spring and Hoover Mtn stand as central landmarks. A network of primitive routes and watercourses, including Lion Creek and Mill Cr, detail the drainage patterns across Township 11 North, Range 10 East and surrounding sections. The area is marked by prominent ridges like Burnt Ridge and Burntridge, showing the typical topography of the Little Belt Mountains. Forest service access is documented through corridors like Jamison Trail Rd and RD 2019, providing a look at the land management and resource access in the early 21st century.
