1995 Map of Sand Point

About this map

The high peaks and drainages of the Lewis and Clark National Forest dominate this mid-1990s survey at the intersection of Judith Basin and Meagher counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several major waterways, including the Musselshell River and North Fork Smith River, which carve through the high-elevation terrain near Kings Hill. In the northern reaches, industrial history is visible through various Mines and Prospects located near Grendah Mtn, indicating the region's long-standing connection to resource extraction. This area serves as a critical junction for administrative management, where the Judith Ranger District, Lost Fork Ranger District, and Musselshell Ranger District boundaries converge. Low-lying ranching activity is evidenced by the Middle Fork Ranch along the Middle Fk Judith R, showcasing the balance between wilderness management and mountain homesteading in the late twentieth century.
