About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of the Little Belt Mountains on this 2020 survey of Wheatland County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of mountain drainage and access routes, centering on the Jellison Place and its nearby water resources. Natural springs are vital landmarks throughout these slopes, including Beecher Spring, Muir Spring, and Forks Spring, many of which feed into the Middle Fork Reservoir and Jellison Reservoir.

Transport through the canyons and across the ridges is dictated by steep grades, evidenced by named routes like the Summit Jeep and Mt High Jeep trails. To the north, the terrain drops into dramatic breaks such as Buffalo Canyon and Dark Canyon near the Judith Basin County and Wheatland County border. This modern record details the intricate water-and-trail system required to manage this high-country environment.
