2020 Map of Loco Mountain

About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest and Gallatin National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape dominated by the peaks of the Crazy Mountains. This modern survey illustrates a complex hydrologic divide where the Shields River and its numerous tributaries, including Lebo Fork and Lodgepole Creek, drain the western slopes. To the east and north, the terrain gives way to the headwaters of the Big Elk and American Fork systems, including the Middle Fork Big Elk Creek and South Fork American Fork. Significant landmarks like Loco Mountain and Lebo Peak anchor the topography, while Elk Lake provides a rare high-mountain water body. The map also delineates several county boundaries, showing where Park, Meagher, Wheatland, and Sweet Grass counties converge amidst the steep drainage basins of Crow Creek and Blacktail Creek.
