2020 Map of Russian Flat

About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses this section of the Little Belt Mountains, where the headwaters of the S Fork Judith River and numerous creeks drain the high country. The landscape is defined by a series of named openings or "parks," including Clyde Park, Willow Park, Bear Park, and High Park, which suggest a history of high-altitude grazing or forestry activities. The Russian Flat Airport stands as a notable clearing in the northern half of the map, situated near the Lower Russian Loop road system. To the south, geological landmarks like Elephant Rock and Mud Ridge rise above the drainages of Whitetail Cr and Basin Creek. This modern survey documents the persistent trails and forest roads, such as Whitetail Logged, that provide access to this isolated mountain terrain near the boundary of Judith Basin and Meagher counties.
