About this map

Lingshire stands as the primary reference point in this corner of Meagher County, situated where Lingshire Rd winds through the hills. This 2020 survey reveals a landscape of high-elevation drainages and prominent ridges, much of which is contained within the Helena National Forest. The map documents a complex system of seasonal and perennial water sources, including Antelope Creek and Rock Creek, which cut through deeply etched terrain features such as Calamity Gulch and Buffalo Canyon.

High points like Avalanche Butte and the Dry Range define the local topography, while smaller landmarks like Moonshine Gulch and Rubison Gulch suggest a history of local naming. The confluence of county lines—including the Meagher and Broadwater and Meagher and Lewis and Clark boundaries—emphasizes the area's role as a meeting point of jurisdictions in the Montana backcountry. Modern infrastructure remains sparse, primarily consisting of Wagner Rd and specialized forest routes.
