About this map

The Shields River valley defines the western edge of this 2020 Park County landscape, where the high mountain drainage system of the Crazy Mountains begins its descent. The map illustrates a network of ranch access roads and named lanes that trace the intricate hydrology of the region, including Coal Camp Rd and Highland Ranch Rd. These routes provide modern context to traditional Montana grazing lands, connecting family-named landmarks like Waltons Ln, Pepper Ln, and Mather Ln.

A complex web of watercourses such as Lena Creek and Daisy Dean Creek demonstrates the erosional patterns of the eastern Gallatin National Forest foothills. High-elevation branches including the North Fork Elk Creek and South Fork Elk Creek highlight the rugged drainage basins that have historically supported seasonal livestock movement and backcountry navigation in the northern reaches of the county.
