About this map

Sieben serves as the primary landmark in this corner of Lewis and Clark County, situated along the eastern edge of the map where irrigation is managed via the Sieben Ranch Ditch. The landscape is dominated by the prominence of Mitchell Mountain and the complex drainage system of the Big Belt Mountains, including Lyons Creek and Medicine Rock Creek. Water management and transportation routes are central to the area's layout, anchored by the Little Prickly Pear Creek Bridge and roads like Chevallier Dr.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is preserved through features such as the NE NE Section 5 Mine and various drainages like Miners Gulch and Glen Marie Gulch, which point to the area's mining heritage. These named gulches and the network of forks, including the North Fork Lyons Creek and South Fork Lyons Creek, illustrate a high-altitude ranching and prospecting environment shaped by seasonal water flow and the local topography.
