2001 Map of Lingshire

About this map

Lingshire sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation terrain where the Dry Range meets the forested drainage of the Big Belt Mountains. This 2001 revision of the 1966 topography illustrates a landscape dominated by the Helena National Forest, intersected by numerous drainages such as Antelope Creek and Rock Creek. The map details the intricate gulch systems that characterize this part of Meagher County, including the evocatively named Moonshine Gulch, Calamity Gulch, and Rubison Gulch. Significant water sources like Crystal Spring and Ashford Spring appear throughout the forest land. The topography is anchored in the south by the high point of Avalanche Butte, while the Buffalo Canyon area provides a steep contrast to the northern creek beds. Numerous 4wd tracks and the Third Standard Parallel North define the limited transport network through this remote mountain terrain.
