About this map

Forest Green and the high ridges of the Little Belt Mountains define this section of the Lewis & Clark National Forest in the mid-2010s. The terrain is characterized by significant elevation changes, anchored by Porphyry Peak and Mizpah Peak, with Kings Hill Pass serving as a critical transit point through the range. A complex network of watercourses, including Sheep Creek and Belt Creek, carves through the landscape, reflecting the drainage patterns of this montane environment.

Open meadows and named clearings like Moose Park, O'Brien Park, and Spur Park break the forest cover, suggesting historic grazing or recreational use. Notable local landmarks such as Warming Hut Knob and Kings Hill indicate the area's role in winter sports and backcountry travel. The convergence of three counties—Cascade, Meagher, and Judith Basin—near Spur Park adds a layer of administrative history to the natural geography of the mountain peaks and creek beds.
