About this map

The northern foothills of the Bearpaw Mountains dominate this landscape, where the small settlement of Lloyd is situated along the winding course of Snake Creek. This area of north-central Montana shows a geography defined by its water sources and distinct geological formations, including the prominent Lloyd Butte and the curiously named Mans Head Rock. To the west, the Taylor Divide separates drainage basins between the seasonal runs of Bean Creek and Miles Creek.

Resource extraction and modern infrastructure are visible through the marking of a Mineshaft, Prospect, and a Cave in the higher elevations of the southern range. A Radio Tower stands as a contemporary landmark amidst a network of unimproved roads and trails that traverse the rugged breaks. The map records a moment in the late 1980s when the region remained primarily defined by its drainage systems and local ranching topography.
