About this map

Lewis and Clark National Forest encompasses the high-elevation terrain of the Big Snowy Mountains in this mid-1990s revision. The landscape is defined by dramatic ridgelines, including the prominent Black Ridge and the sharp profile of Knife Blade Ridge. These geologic features serve as the headwaters for several drainage systems, with Big Rock Creek and its forks—the East Fork, West Fork, and Timber Creek—carving deep canyons through the limestone.

Remote summits such as Jump Off Peak, Lime Cave Peak, and Mount Harlow mark the high points of the quadrangle. The map captures the interface between the Judith Musselshell and the Ranger District, providing a clear record of administrative boundaries and physical landmarks like Green Pole Canyon and Hay Canyon before later 20th-century forest management changes. It is an essential document for understanding the complex topography of the Fergus and Golden Valley county line.
