2017 Map of Maudlow

About this map

Maudlow sits at the northern end of this Montana landscape, where the waters of Sixteenmile Cr cut through the steep walls of Sixteenmile Canyon. The area is characterized by the complex topography of the Horseshoe Hills and various canyons, including the narrow corridor of Little Rocky Canyon to the southeast. To the north, the boundary of the Helena National Forest marks a transition into protected timberlands. The human footprint is defined by isolated rural lanes like Neinfeldt Ln and Morgan Ln that trace the drainage basins of Dry Cr and Blacktail Cr. Toponymic details such as Poison Hollow, Roy Gulch, and Haw Gulch reflect a history of ranching and exploration in this part of Gallatin County, while Rowland Spring indicates essential water sources in an otherwise high-elevation, semi-arid environment.
