About this map

Judith Peak and the surrounding Judith Mountains dominate this central Montana landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is marked by numerous summits including Big Grassy Peak, Collar Peak, and Sheep Mtn. The map highlights the historic settlements of Maiden and Giltedge, two communities established during the regional mining booms that drew settlers to these drainages. Deep gulches and canyons, such as Chicago Gulch and Maiden Canyon, cut through the ridges, directing the flow of Armells Cr and Chippewa Cr.

Evidence of early territorial activity and local heritage is preserved through the locations of the Fort Maginnis Cem and Gilt Edge Cem. The road network, including the winding Judith Peak Rd and Maiden Rd, illustrates how transportation followed the natural contours of the mountain passes. This survey provides a clear look at the complex topography and historical markers defining this part of Fergus County.
