2017 Map of Sixteen

About this map

Sixteen lies at the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, situated where Sixteenmile Cr flows westward through the mountain drainages. The area is defined by the significant topographic rise of Elkhorn Ridge, which serves as a central landmark between the various creek systems. A network of primitive roads follows the natural contours of the land, including Sixteen Mile Rd and Indian Creek Rd, tracing routes through the remote Meagher and Gallatin County line. Numerous watercourses like Indian Cr, Meadow Cr, and the Middle Fork Sixteenmile Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this Big Belt Mountains region. The map reflects a modern era of land management, documenting the intersections of township and range lines across this sparsely populated section of Montana.
