About this map

The Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses much of this area along the border of Judith Basin and Meagher Counties, where the S Fork Judith River and its tributaries carve through the Montana landscape. A series of small mountain parks, including Clyde Park, Willow Park, Bear Park, and High Park, are dotted across the terrain, suggesting traditional sites for grazing or camping. In the northeastern corner, the Russian Flat area is marked by the presence of the Russian Flat Airport, a remote airstrip serving this high-country region.

Water features define the drainage patterns of the Little Belt Mountains, with the S Fork Judith River joined by the Russian Cr, Deadhorse Cr, and Spring Cr. Distinctive landforms such as Elephant Rock and Burnt Ridge provide prominent navigational landmarks for those traversing the forest service roads, including the Spring Creek Rd and High Park trail. This map offers a clear view of the wilderness infrastructure and topography at the headwaters of the Judith River system.
