About this map

Georgetown anchors the western edge of this landscape within the Deerlodge National Forest, where the high-altitude terrain of the Flint Creek Range meets a complex network of alpine lakes and mountain peaks. The map reveals a high-elevation geography defined by Cable Mtn and the Cable Lookout Tower, overseeing a region where water sources like Silver Lake, Hidden Lake, and Daly Lake are central to the local environment.

The presence of numerous named gulches and basins, such as Clay Charlie Gulch and Johnson Basin, alongside legacy routes like Old State Hwy 10, illustrates a history of movement through the mountain passes. The boundary between Granite and Deer Lodge counties bisects the north, cutting through topographic landmarks like Welcome Hill and Low Pass. From the flats of Yankee Flat to the southern reaches of Storm Lake Cr, the sheet documents a rugged Montana backcountry preserved for forest management and recreation.
