2020 Map of Sixteen NE

About this map

The Middle Fork Sixteenmile Cr cuts through the southwest corner of this high-altitude landscape, where the borders of Gallatin, Meagher, and Park counties converge. Centered on the prominent Elk Ridge, the terrain is defined by a series of north-south drainage systems including Meadow Cr, Lost Cr, and Potter Cr. This modern survey illustrates the remote character of this Montana ranching and wilderness area, where movement is dictated by the rugged topography and a sparse network of mountain roads such as Meadow Creek Rd and Sixteen Mile Creek Rd. The map serves as a detailed record of the Public Land Survey System divisions across Townships 4, 5, and 6 North, revealing how historical section lines continue to structure land ownership and management in the modern era.
