2024 Map of Sixteen NE

About this map

The high Montana backcountry where Meagher, Gallatin, and Park counties converge is defined by the prominent spine of Elk Ridge. This 2024 survey captures a landscape of steep drainage basins and narrow riparian corridors, where Meadow Creek and Lost Creek carve through the mountain terrain. Settlement is sparse in this portion of the Sixteen NE quadrangle, with the human footprint primarily restricted to remote access routes such as Meadow Creek Rd and Sixteen Mile Creek Rd. The map provides a clear look at the complex political geography of the region, specifically where the county lines of Meagher, Gallatin, and Park counties intersect. Further east, Potter Creek flows through the upper reaches of the drainage, while Brekey Rd tracks along the high ridges, serving as a vital link in this lightly inhabited territory.
