About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Meagher County, where the topography is defined by the massive presence of Sheep Mtn and the long, elevated spine of Rocky Ridge. This 2014 survey documents a network of drainages that feed the region's river systems, including the serpentine paths of Sheep Cr, Eagle Cr, and Big Butte Cr. The presence of Sheep Creek Bar and the open expanse of Horse Prairie suggest a landscape used for seasonal grazing and transit through the mountains.

Transportation through this difficult terrain is limited to historic corridors like Smith River Rd and Butte Creek Rd, which provide access to interior features such as Elk Horn Pass and Bear Gulch. The map serves as a contemporary record of federal land management, showing the precise township and range divisions across T12N and T13N, essential for tracing land use and geographic boundaries in this part of Montana.
