About this map

Monument Peak and Sky Peak stand as prominent landmarks within the expansive high-elevation landscape of the Lewis & Clark National Forest in Meagher County. This part of the Little Belt Mountains is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Tenderfoot Cr, Reynolds Cr, and Shannon Cr, which carve through the varied terrain of Taylor Hills and Rimrock Ridge. The map illustrates a remote wilderness managed for both natural resources and recreation, featuring designated areas like Reynolds Park and Eagle Park.

Access to these backcountry reaches is provided by a system of forest development roads, such as Smith River Rd and Sheep Creek Rd. These routes track the drainage patterns of the S Fork Tenderfoot Cr and N Fork Eagle Cr, reflecting the region's historical reliance on river valleys for navigation and movement through the mountains. Named features like Mt Vesuvius and Woods Mtn highlight the distinctive topographic character of this central Montana wilderness.
