About this map

The Judith Mountains dominate the northwestern quadrant of this Fergus County landscape, with Lewis Peak and Lookout Peak anchoring the high ground. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Log Gulch and Lone Tree Gulch, which feed into a complex hydraulic network including the East Fork Box Elder Creek and Edwards Creek. This topography creates natural corridors like Ross Pass, which historically influenced movement through the high country.

Downslope, the map reveals a transition into prairie and rangeland where local travel relies on the intersection of Black Butte Rd and Fort McGinnis Rd. These roads parallel or cross several watercourses, most notably Brickyard Creek, Fords Creek, and Maiden Creek. The lack of dense residential development emphasizes the area's use for transit and resource management, with the Public Land Survey System grid providing the primary structure for land division across these sections.
