About this map

Sixmile Mtn dominates the central landscape of this Montana survey, situated within the protected boundaries of the Helena National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage system characterized by numerous gulches and canyons, including Miners Gulch, Meyers Gulch, and Timber Gulch, which feed into Sixmile Cr and Dry Cr. The intersection of Broadwater and Gallatin counties cuts across the terrain, reflecting the administrative divisions of this high-elevation region.

Remote access is traced via Dry Creek Rd and 6 Mile Rd, which provide the primary transit through the forest's interior. Significant landmarks such as Rocky Canyon and Sawmill Gulch suggest a history of resource extraction and local geography that has shaped the human footprint in these mountains. The presence of seasonal water features like Paddys Run and Sherlock Cr further illustrates the hydrological patterns of the northern Rockies.
