About this map

Lewis and Clark National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in the Little Belt Mountains during the early 1960s. The topography is defined by prominent peaks including Mixes Baldy, Taylor Mountain, and Butcherknife Mountain, separated by deep drainage systems like Belt Creek and Dry Wolf Creek. While the area is dominated by steep timbered slopes, open high-country meadows like Lone Tree Park and Ox Park provide distinct breaks in the forest cover.

Evidence of resource extraction is visible in the presence of a Mine located near the headwaters of Lone Tree Creek, while a network of primitive Jeep Trails provides the primary means of access through the steep gulches. Local landmarks such as Anderson Peak and Otter Mountain serve as primary navigational points for the various streams, including Blankenship Gulch and Gray Creek, which flow through the Judith Basin County portion of the forest.
