About this map

Maudlow sits at the northern edge of the Horseshoe Hills, where the drainage of Sixteenmile Cr cuts through the dramatic Sixteenmile Canyon. This Gallatin County landscape is defined by deep incisions and high ridges, with Haw Gulch and Quarry Gulch feeding into the primary waterway. The map captures a transition from the public lands of the Helena National Forest in the north to the more open, ranching-oriented terrain further south.

Evidence of the area's rural character is preserved in named springs and creek crossings, such as Rowland Spring and Larue Cr. A network of unpaved roads, including Maudlow Rd and Poison Hollow Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, illustrating how geography dictates transport in this part of Montana. Smaller features like Roy Gulch and the seasonal flows of Blacktail Cr highlight the intricate drainage patterns that have shaped this high-country environment.
