About this map

The Little Belt Mountains dominate this high-country landscape, where the headwaters of several major Montana drainages diverge. Within the Lewis & Clark National Forest, the terrain is defined by the high elevations of Burnt Ridge and Hoover Mtn, which serve as a hydrological divide between the S Fork Judith River flowing north and the N Fork Musselshell River trending south.

A network of mountain trails and forest roads, such as Jamison Trail Rd and Hoover Springs, provides access to this remote interior. The map documents numerous smaller tributaries like Lion Creek, Whitetail Cr, and Mill Cr, which carve through the steep topography. Historic land use is evidenced by the namesake Hoover Spring and various technical access routes like the Trail Mill Atv path, highlighting the intersection of water management and recreational transit across the Judith Basin County and Meagher County line.
