About this map

The Lewis and Clark National Forest spans this mid-1990s survey area, marking a significant hydrologic divide where the headwaters of two major river systems diverge. The northern drainage is defined by the South Fork Judith River and its tributaries, including the Lost Fork Judith River, while the southern slopes feed the North Fork Musselshell River. This divide is physically represented by high-altitude features like Hoover Mountain and the prominent Burnt Ridge.

Isolated human activity in this part of Meagher County is centered around Brock Ranch and the Whitetail Camp, connected by rugged paths such as the Jamison Trail. The topography reveals the intricate network of alpine water sources, including Hoover Spring, Lion Creek, and East Fork Mill Creek. The map illustrates a remote landscape where forest boundaries and county lines intersect amidst a network of four-wheel drive tracks and national forest trails.
