2011 Map of Mount Howe

About this map

Mount Howe rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Meagher County, overlooking a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and mineral exploration. The drainage of the North Fork Musselshell River dominates the southern half of the map, supported by the Mill Ditch irrigation feature. Evidence of the region's mining history is scattered throughout the hills, including the Clara Burton Mine and BCE Number 3959 Mine to the north, while the Lou Ire Mine and Moonlight Mine sit near the western slopes of the central peak. Transportation in this high-country area is facilitated by both local routes like Spring Creek Rd and private aviation via the Holliday Landing Strip. The map also details recreational and management boundaries such as the Spring Creek Campground and various gulches like Baxter Gulch and Woods Gulch that carve through the upland terrain near Cooks Flat.
