About this map

Blanchard Sawmill sits near the western edge of this mountain landscape, a specific indicator of the timber industry within the Gallatin National Forest at the start of the 21st century. The map is defined by its complex drainage systems, where streams like Storm Castle Creek and History Rock Creek carve deep through the high country.

Elevations culminate at the prominent summit of Mount Blackmore in the east, while geographic landmarks like Telephone Ridge and Orchid Gulch provide specific orientation for hikers and researchers. Significant water features, including Big Bear Lake and the various forks of South Fork Cottonwood Creek, illustrate the hydrologic network that feeds the surrounding valley. This survey reflects the USDA Forest Service's management of the area, balancing resource landmarks like Timber Butte with the preservation of the back country.
