1995 Map of Mount Howe

About this map

Mount Howe stands as a prominent topographical anchor within the Musselshell Ranger District, overlooking a landscape defined by high-altitude drainages and early industrial markings. This portion of the Lewis and Clark National Forest shows the intersection of natural waterways like the North Fork Musselshell River and the South Fork Musselshell River with man-made infrastructure. Evidence of the region's mining and ranching history is present through labels such as the Cora Burton Mine, a generic mine near Cooks Flat, and the Mill Ditch. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous gulches, including Pasture Gulch and Baxter Gulch, which channel seasonal runoff into the larger river systems. A network of unimproved roads and trails, such as Spring Creek, provides the primary access through these steep timbered slopes and open flats.
