About this map

Cherry Peak and Penrose Peak dominate this high-altitude section of Sanders County, Montana, defining the local hydrology and dividing the drainage basins of numerous mountain streams. The watershed is intricately carved by Cherry Creek and its many tributaries, while the C C Divide serves as a prominent natural boundary in the central portion of the landscape. High-elevation features like Acorn Lake sit tucked below the peaks, illustrating the glaciated character of this terrain.

Local infrastructure is represented by primitive routes such as Cedar Tangle Twelve Mile Rd and W Camels Hump, which provide access to interior landmarks like Greenwood Hill and Buzzard Gulch. This 2011 survey documents the specific forest service road networks and creek configurations—including Flat Rock Creek and Tamarack Creek—before contemporary shifts in forest management or natural landform changes altered these corridors.
