About this map

Helena National Forest dominates the eastern landscape of this Broadwater County region, where the terrain transitions from high ridges down into the drainages of the Big Belt Mountains. The settlement of Boone sits along the western edge of the quadrangle, serving as a landmark near the open valley floor. Water management is a visible priority in this environment, evidenced by the technical infrastructure of a Siphon and Flume near Lippert Gulch and Deep Creek, components of a landscape adapted for transport and irrigation.

Several major drainage systems like Greyson Creek and Cottonwood Creek carve through the mountain front, while smaller features such as Black Butte Gulch and Ross Gulch offer granular detail for those studying the local topography. This provisional survey captures the area as it appeared in the mid-1980s, documenting the presence of Grain Bins and unimproved roads that suggest the intersection of ranching and national forest access.
