2017 Map of Lingshire

About this map

Lingshire sits at the intersection of remote Montana ranch lands and the rugged topography of the Helena National Forest. The landscape is defined by deep drainages and dramatic elevation changes, notably at Avalanche Butte and the Dry Range. Water sources are critical in this high country, marked by features such as Crystal Spring, Ashford Spring, and the various branches of Rock Creek. The naming conventions throughout the quadrangle reflect a colorful frontier heritage, with labels like Moonshine Gulch, Calamity Gulch, and Buffalo Canyon hinting at the historical uses and challenges of the terrain. Early transportation routes are represented by Lingshire Rd and Wagner Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and grazing lands. This survey provides a clear view of the complex jurisdictional boundaries where Meagher, Broadwater, and Lewis and Clark Counties meet in the wilderness.
