About this map

Holter Lake and the Missouri River dominate the northeastern corner of this 2014 terrain study, where the waterway transitions from the open reservoir toward the canyon landscape of Lewis and Clark County. The region is defined by a dense network of gulches and drainages, including Levings Gulch, Bear Gulch, and Falls Gulch, which carve through the high ground surrounding the Hilger Valley.

Infrastructure in this portion of Montana is centered around the Missouri River corridor and its tributaries. The Sheep Creek Bridge provides a vital crossing over Sheep Cr, while the winding course of Little Prickly Pear Cr dictates the path of transportation through the southwestern sections. Named roads such as Woods Siding Rd and S Recreation Rd provide access to the various gulches and the banks of the lake, illustrating the intersection of modern recreation and the area's physical geography.
