2014 Map of Rimrock Divide

About this map

Bill Bracket Place sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Bozeman Fork Musselshell River wind through the transition between the Lewis & Clark National Forest and the Gallatin National Forest. The topography is defined by the massive uplift of the Crazy Mountains, creating a complex network of ridges and drainage basins. Of particular interest to those studying the region's land use is the distinct naming of geographic features like Woodchuck Ridge, Upchuck Ridge, and Woodchuck View, suggesting a specific local character or history tied to these landmarks. The map details the high-country divide between multiple watersheds, including Sixteenmile Cr and Little Cottonwood Cr, while the Rimrock Divide itself serves as a significant natural barrier across the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
