About this map

Lewis and Clark National Forest encompasses the high country of the Little Belt Mountains as it appeared in the mid-1990s. The landscape is defined by the prominent peak of Moose Mountain and the surrounding drainage basins of Sheep Creek and Moose Creek. Water management and land use are evidenced by the presence of the Holstrom Ditch and a Gaging Sta along the southern waterways, while industrial activity is marked by a Prospect and Gravel Pit near the mountain slopes.

Recreation and topography dominate the eastern edge of the quadrangle, where a Cross Country Ski Trail traverses the terrain near Kings Hill and Strawberry Butte. The map also captures the local political geography of the era, illustrating the boundary line where Cascade Co meets Meagher Co. Numerous small tributaries like Wolsey Creek and Adams Creek provide a clear view of the complex watershed that feeds the region's larger creek systems.
