2024 Map of Millegan

About this map

The Millegan settlement and its namesake Millegan Hill anchor the western edge of this landscape, where the high plains meet the eastern rise of the Little Belt Mountains. This 2024 survey captures the transitional geography of the Lewis & Clark National Forest, where the deep winding canyon of the Smith River cuts through the terrain. The map documents the intricate drainage network feeding into this corridor, including Trout Creek, Spring Creek, and Deep Creek, alongside numerous gulches and coulees that define the local topography. This area remains largely defined by its rural access points, such as Upper Millegan Rd and Smith River Ln, which connect remote homesteads to the rugged interior. For those tracing the history of Central Montana ranching and public land use, the map provides precise locations for Simmons Park and several established backcountry routes like the Bear Gulch Trl and Parker Ridge Trl.
