About this map

Helena National Forest dominates the eastern and southern edges of this landscape, framing a series of drainage systems that descend from the high ground toward the west. The area around Lippert Gulch and Flume Hollow reveals a network of canyons and gulches, including Ross Gulch and Black Butte Gulch, which have shaped the local movement of water and travel. The presence of Flathead Indian Trail Rd along the eastern edge of Greyson Cr suggests a long-standing corridor of passage through these hills.

Water is the primary sculptor here, with Little Cottonwood Cr and Boone Run carving paths through the terrain. The road network, including Ridge Rd and Dry Creek Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, providing access to these drainage basins. These features indicate a landscape defined by its watersheds and the historical routes that navigated them, offering a detailed look at the rural geography between the mountains and the plains.
