About this map

Loco Mountain and Lebo Peak dominate this high-altitude landscape in the mid-1990s, marking a significant intersection of federal lands and county jurisdictions. This survey captures the complex drainage systems that define the area, where the headwaters of the Shields River and various forks of the American Fork begin their descent. The terrain is divided between the Lewis and Clark National Forest and the Gallatin National Forest, reflecting the managed wilderness character of the region.

Strategic forest roads like the Musselshell Big Timber route navigate the difficult topography, providing access through the Ranger District. Researchers will find a detailed look at the hydrological network, from the alpine Elk Lake to the meandering Lodgepole Creek, alongside the established 1st Standard Parallel North. The map clearly delineates the convergence of Meagher, Park, Wheatland, and Sweet Grass counties within these forested peaks.
