About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses the rugged high country of this Meagher County landscape, dominated by the prominent peak of Mt Elmo. The mapping reveals a complex network of mountain drainages, including the headwaters of Middle Fork Cottonwood Cr, Hereim Cr, and Muddy Cr. This 2014 survey documents the transition between the open valley floor and the densely wooded slopes of the Gallatin National Forest to the south.

Settlement is sparse, concentrated at the small community of Lebo, where the Lebo Cem provides a point of genealogical interest for local families. Access to the backcountry is defined by primitive routes such as Cottonwood Creek Rd and Forest Lake Rd, which follow the natural contours of the stream valleys. The inclusion of the W Fork Lateral indicates the importance of water management in this high-altitude environment.
