About this map

The high alpine meadows and resource-rich valleys of the Little Belt Mountains dominate this landscape, which lies primarily within the Lewis and Clark National Forest. The map documents a significant intersection of natural features and early industrial attempts, particularly in the southern reaches where prospects and mining operations like the New Deal Mine and Jumbo Mine are noted. These extraction sites suggest a history of prospecting along Basin Creek and Kents Gulch.

Administrative and recreational presence is marked by the Hunter Spring Guard Station and Hunters Camp, serving as hubs for managing this timbered terrain. Notable topographic landmarks include the prominent Elephant Rock and several named mountain parks, such as Clyde Park, Willow Park, and Bear Park, which provide clearings among the dense drainages of the South Fork Judith River and Russian Creek.
