About this map

Deerlodge National Forest spans this high-elevation landscape, where the peaks of the Boulder Mountains reach toward the horizon. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage basins including Perkins Gulch, Girard Gulch, and Telegraph Gulch, all flowing toward significant watercourses like Dry Cottonwood Creek. These deep incisions in the land reveal a history of water-driven erosion across the flanks of Orofino Mtn and Cottonwood Mtn.

While the northern boundary of Butte and the city limits of Anaconda appear on the margins, the heart of the map is a study in forest management and remote geography. Historic access routes such as Sand Hollow Rd and Four Corners Rd traverse the ridges and hollows, including Sand Hollow. The survey clearly delineates the administrative divide at the Deer Lodge Co Silver Bow Co line, providing a precise look at the modern jurisdictional boundaries within this wooded Montana backcountry.
