About this map

Mowing Machine Coulée and the steep terrain of the Big Belt Mountains define this landscape in Meagher County. The drainage patterns of the Missouri River watershed are intricately detailed, showing how the N Fork Freeman Cr and S Fork Freeman Cr converge as they move through the high country. To the north, Whitetail Cr and Trout Cr carve deep paths through the timbered slopes, while Black Canyon serves as a prominent landmark for navigation.

Road development is minimal in this high-elevation area, with Sky Ranch Rd providing one of the few named access points into the backcountry. The map serves as an excellent study of Montana's complex topography, illustrating the transition between high ridges and deeply incised features like Mud Gulch and Pine Coulee. For those interested in land tenure and the Public Land Survey System, the borders of T14N R2E and T13N R3E are clearly delineated against the natural landforms.
