About this map

The Little Belt Mountains define the northern reaches of this Montana landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of the Lewis & Clark National Forest transitions into the expansive ranchlands of Wheatland County. The map documents a topography carved by drainage networks, including Mead Creek and Roberts Cr, which flow south and east through rugged breaks like Sawmill Canyon and Stevens Gulch.

Land use is primarily agricultural and conservation-oriented, anchored by the Gaugler Ranch in the southeast. Geographic markers such as Stevens Butte and Monk Coulee serve as prominent landmarks for navigation in this open country. The transportation network is sparse, consisting largely of named service routes such as Sawmill Canyon Rd and Coyote Ln, reflecting the isolation of the Judith Basin and Wheatland county borderlands.
