About this map

Red Lodge serves as the gateway to the high plateau country of the Custer National Forest and Shoshone National Forest in this mid-century survey. The town's periphery is defined by essential community landmarks including the Red Lodge Cemetery, the Rodeo Grounds, and the Red Lodge Airport, while the Draper Sch sits further north. The landscape is dramatically shaped by the Limestone Palisades and the transition from the West Bench into the high elevations of the Silver Run Plateau and Line Creek Plateau.

Deep in the backcountry, the presence of the Yellowstone-Bighorn Research Camp and numerous recreational sites like Richel Lodge, Camp Senia, and Camp Rotary illustrate the area's development as a hub for scientific study and outdoor education. Transport and resource extraction are visible through features like the Timberline Trail and scattered Gravel Pits, while hydrological features range from the sprawling Hellroaring Lakes to the winding West Fork Rock Creek.
