About this map

High-altitude hydrology and complex terrain define this survey along the boundary between Sweet Grass and Stillwater counties. The landscape is dominated by the steep slopes of Meyer Mountain and Washburn Mountain, while the southern reaches fall within the protected Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. Water sources are abundant, from the West Fork Stillwater River and Pass Creek to smaller alpine features like Mountain View Lake and isolated points such as Quaker Spring and Whittaker Spring.

Land use in this portion of the Custer National Forest and Galatin National Forest reflects a mix of resource extraction and rugged navigation. Evidence of small-scale prospecting appears at Limestone and various labeled prospects and an Adit. The network of pack trails and primitive roads through Squaw Pass and across Horseman Flats illustrates the era's reliance on established mountain routes for access to these remote peaks.
