About this map

The Smith River carves a dramatic, winding path through this portion of Meagher County, defining a landscape dominated by the Lewis and Clark National Forest. This 1995 revision, based on earlier mid-century aerial photography, shows a wilderness primarily managed by the Kings Hill Ranger District. The terrain is marked by steep elevation changes and named geographical features like Sunset Cliff and the deep incision of Canyon Depth.

Evidence of historical resource exploration appears in the southwest, where unnamed Prospects are noted near the headwaters of Freeman Creek. The hydrology is complex, with numerous tributaries such as One Creek, Two Creek, and Tenderfoot Creek feeding into the main river corridor. These watercourses and their associated landforms, like Sheep Wagon and Cow Coulee, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and backcountry activity within the rugged Montana interior.
