1986 Map of Sahara Hill

About this map

The Little Snowy Mountains dominate the northern terrain of this 1980s Montana landscape, where the high-altitude topography of the Lewis and Clark National Forest transitions into the drainage basins of the southern plains. Central to the sheet is the prominent rise of Sahara Hill, a distinctive landmark situated between the headwaters of Stonehouse Creek and the winding path of Cameron Creek. The area is defined by sharp elevation changes and deep incisions like Stonehouse Canyon, illustrating a transition zone between forested peaks and the open range. In addition to the complex network of spring-fed waters such as the North Fork Minerva Creek and Ray Creek, the map details the political boundary where Golden Valley and Musselshell counties meet in the northeast corner, providing a clear record of land use and administrative borders in this part of Big Sky Country.
