1961 Map of Sand Point

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The crest of the Little Belt Mountains defines this terrain, where the headwaters of major Montana river systems begin their descent. This 1961 field-checked survey highlights the high-elevation drainage divide within the Lewis and Clark National Forest, specifically where the North Fork Musselshell River and North Fork Smith River originate near Lost Fork Ridge. The landscape is defined by its isolation and verticality, marked by prominent peaks such as Grendah Mtn and the namesake Sand Point. Local ranching and early prospecting are evident through the Middle Fork Ranch on the Middle Fk Judith R and scattered Prospects and Mines found along the ridgelines. A network of pack trails and jeep trails provides the only infrastructure through this backcountry, connecting seasonal areas like Ant Park and Spur Park across the Judith Basin and Meagher county line.
