About this map

Forest Rose Mine sits in the northeastern corner of this drainage basin, a reminder of the area's extraction history. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of watercourses and named gulches, where ranching operations such as Home Ranch, Mule Ranch, and Furgeson Ranch are positioned along the creek bottoms. The Big Hole River cuts across the southwestern corner, joined by tributaries like Deep Creek and French Creek.

Modern recreation and land management are evident at the Deep Creek Ski Area and within Lincoln Park. Topographical landmarks like Bear Mountain and Mariah Meadows dominate the central terrain, while numerous smaller drainages like Twelvemile Creek and California Creek pattern the hillsides. The map provides a clear look at how contemporary access roads like Dry Creek Rd and Bear Gulch Rd follow the natural contours of the Montana high country.
