About this map

Helena National Forest land dominates the eastern and southern edges of this area in Broadwater County, where the high country transitions into a series of deeply etched drainages. The landscape is defined by the hydrological network of Cottonwood Cr and Deep Cr, which gather runoff from numerous smaller seasonal streams. The settlement pattern is sparse, characterized by tucked-away features like Lippert Gulch and the Clover Crest Airpark in the north.

Evidence of historical movement through the terrain is preserved in names like Flathead Indian Trail Rd and several named hollows, including Flume Hollow and Dry Hollow. These features, along with names like Boone Run and Greyson Cr, suggest a history of early ranching and resource access. The varied network of secondary roads, such as Ridge Rd and Greyson Creek Rd, follows the natural contours of the gulches and ridges.
