2017 Map of Lockhart Meadows

About this map

The Continental Divide defines the eastern orientation of this landscape within the Deerlodge National Forest, where the headwaters of the Boulder River and its various forks carve deep drainages through the high country. To the north, Lockhart Meadows and Gospel Hill sit near the divide, while Champion Pass provides a transition between the northern and southern watersheds. The map reveals a complex network of named gulches and canyons, such as American Gulch, Alaska Gulch, and Strozzy Gulch, many of which bear the names of early prospectors and settlers who frequented this mineral-rich region of Montana. High-altitude drainage patterns are clearly visible through features like N Fork Dry Cottonwood Cr and W Fork Boulder River, illustrating the rugged hydrology of the Silver Bow and Jefferson County line.
