About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates the high peaks of this Powell County landscape, where McCabe Mtn and Ovando Mtn rise above the drainage systems of the North Fork Blackfoot River. The terrain transitions from the steep, timbered slopes of the northern peaks down into the alluvial expanse of Kleinschmidt Flat. This lower ground is characterized by a network of ranching and irrigation features, including Murphy Ditch, Cedar Falls Ditch, and the seasonal flow of Dry Gulch.

Evidence of early 21st-century land use is visible in the collection of named meadows and springs, such as Doney Meadows and Jacobsen Spring, which speak to the area's agricultural history. Local infrastructure is represented by rural corridors like Ovando Helmville Rd and Kleinschmidt Flat Rd, which connect the small settlement of Dry Gulch to the broader valley. The map provides a clear record of property boundaries and public forest land at this specific moment in Montana's history.
