1967 Map of Moose Mountain

About this map

Lewis and Clark National Forest encompasses the high country of the Big Belt Mountains, where drainage patterns define the rugged topography. The southern portion of this 1967 survey is dominated by the course of Sheep Creek, which is paralleled by the Holostrom Ditch and supported by a Gaging Sta. This area serves as a critical water management zone for the region, evidenced by the infrastructure along the creek bottoms. Recreation and access are established via the Moose Creek Campground and Jumping Creek Campground, while higher elevations such as Moose Mountain and Green Mountain remain accessible only by a network of pack trails and jeep trails. Multiple seasonal drainages, including Adams Creek and Wolsey Creek, carve deep into the timbered slopes, illustrating the complex hydrology that feeds the Missouri River watershed.
