About this map

The Lewis and Clark National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, where the Blackfeet Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across the northern ridges. The high terrain is defined by the Two Medicine Ridge and prominent summits such as Mount Pablo and Mount Baldy, the latter supporting a Radio Facility. This 1968 field check reveals a network of watercourses feeding the Two Medicine River, including Hyde Creek, Woods Creek, and Mettler Coulee.

In the southern reaches of the quadrangle, the Badger Guard Station sits near the confluence of North Badger Creek and Lee Creek. The map provides a detailed record of the drainage patterns in the Glacier and Pondera county borderlands, featuring family or descriptively named landmarks like Dog Gun Lake, Lost Skirt Creek, and Red Poucher Creek. The presence of several Drill Hole locations near Mount Baldy indicates mid-century resource exploration within the forest boundaries.
