About this map

Millegan stands as a focal point in this high-plains landscape where the Cascade Co and Meagher Co boundary meets the western edge of the Lewis & Clark National Forest. The settlement is situated near Millegan Hill, serving as a waypoint for travelers on Upper Millegan Rd. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of drainage systems, most notably the Smith River which carves a winding path through the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

Smaller tributaries such as Trout Cr, N Fork Fir Cr, and Spring Coulee define the local topography, creating numerous gulches like Herman Gulch and Bear Gulch. This 2017 survey illustrates the intersection of public forest lands and private ranching interests, with Simmons Park and Smith River Ln providing access to the more remote reaches of the foothills. The arrangement of section lines and range markers, including t15n r3e and t16n r4e, shows the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in organizing this Montana territory.
