2017 Map of Moose Mountain

About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses the high terrain of Meagher and Cascade counties, centered on the prominent peak of Moose Mountain. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Moose Cr, Jumping Cr, and Sheep Cr, which carve through the timbered slopes. In the lower elevations near Green Mtn, the presence of the Holmstrom Ditch indicates the development of water management systems to support the region's agricultural and ranching interests. Forest access is provided by several primitive routes such as Moose Creek Rd and Moose Park Rd, which snake through the drainage basins of Allen Gulch and Coyote Cr. This survey documents a quiet era of federal land management, where high mountain meadows like Moose Park remained largely undisturbed, served only by backcountry roads like Allen Gulch Rd and Jumping Creek Rd.
