About this map

Helena National Forest lands dominate the eastern and southern edges of this Montana landscape, where the high country drops away into a series of deeply carved drainages. The map reveals a complex network of canyons and gulches, notably Lippert Gulch and Flume Hollow, which channel seasonal waters toward the broader valley floor. The placement of Us-12 following the natural path of Deep Cr demonstrates how modern infrastructure in Broadwater County remains dictated by these historical water-carved corridors.

Local access to the back-country is marked by established routes like Lippert Gulch Rd and Greyson Creek Rd, which provide entry points into the more secluded areas of the forest. Features such as Black Butte Gulch and Dry Hollow speak to the arid character of the terrain between the primary watercourses of Greyson Cr and Little Cottonwood Cr. This survey provides a clear view of the transition from forest boundaries to private ranch or rangeland in the western sections.
