About this map

Rimrock Divide serves as a significant geographical crest within the Crazy Mountains, defining the watershed of Meagher County. The high-altitude terrain is dominated by the headwaters of the Bozeman Fork Musselshell River, which flows through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This area marks the convergence of two major federal lands: the Lewis & Clark National Forest and the Gallatin National Forest.

Specific natural landmarks like Haypress Meadow and The Basin suggest the historical grazing and topographical character of this mountain landscape. To the south, the terrain descends toward The Park and is bisected by named ridges including Woodchuck Ridge and Upchick Ridge. The presence of Sawmill Gulch and the Sawmill Cr tributary points to the early industrial importance of timber harvesting in these high Montana forests.
