2020 Map of Scab Rock Mountain

About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the administrative boundary between Meagher and Park counties cuts through the terrain. The topography is defined by the significant peaks of Bear Mtn, Scab Rock Mtn, and Goat Mtn, while the Crazy Mountains rise to the southeast. Water drainage patterns are central to the area's character, with Sixteenmile Cr flowing through the northern reaches and the Shields River winding across the southern valley floor. Human utility of the land is evident in the presence of the Horse Camp Ditch, an irrigation feature that parallels the river. A network of forest and access roads, including Hamilton Rd and Shields River Rd, provides the primary connective infrastructure between the steep ridges of Woodchuck Ridge and the lower drainage of Bear Gulch.
