About this map

The Dearborn River and its southern tributaries define the complex drainage patterns of Lewis and Clark County in this detailed topographical study. The landscape is dominated by notable peaks such as Johnson Mtn and Joes Mtn, while the twin elevations of Sunset Hill and Sunrise Hill provide distinct navigational markers to the west. The area is characterized by a network of creeks including Big Skunk Cr, Little Skunk Cr, and Wrangle Cr, which cut through the high country to feed the larger river system.

Evidence of human land use is present through the Gillette Ditch, a managed water feature winding through the terrain. Remote access is maintained via the L & C Rd and McDonough Rd, while the S Fork Trl provides a route for those traversing the southeastern portion of the quadrangle near Bessette Cr. The map illustrates the sparse settlement and focus on natural resource management typical of this region of Montana.
