About this map

The Smith River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Meagher County, serving as the central geographic corridor between two massive federal preserves. This 2014 survey documents the meeting point of the Lewis & Clark National Forest and the Helena National Forest, a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and numerous tributary drainages. Significant erosion patterns are evident in features like Cow Coulee, Mud Gulch, and Indiana Gulch, which feed into the river system from the east and west.

Water management and natural flow are highlighted by several named streams including Tenderfoot Cr, One Cr, and Two Cr. The map reveals the limited human infrastructure in this wilderness area, centered primarily on the rural CR-360 road. This specific survey is an essential reference for understanding the complex topography of the Big Belt Mountains region, showcasing the geological scale of Black Canyon and Dry Canyon.
