About this map

Lee Metcalf Wilderness and the Beaverhead National Forest dominate this landscape, where the high-altitude terrain transitions from the steep peaks of Black Mountain to the broad, flat expanse of Cameron Bench. In the late 1980s, this area served as a critical corridor for wildlife and resource management, evidenced by the large Bear Creek Wildlife Management Area and the Bear Creek FS Station near the junction of several pack trails.

Water is a defining characteristic of the Madison County geography here, with Cedar Lake and Cedar Falls tucked into the mountain folds near the Gallatin National Forest boundary. Local history is marked by small-scale features like a lone Cem and a Gravel Pit, providing evidence of early settlement and road maintenance in the valley. The map traces the intricate drainage of Tolman Creek, Mill Creek, and the North Fork Burger Creek as they descend toward the Indian Creek ditch system.
