2014 Map of Sliderock Mountain

About this map

Gallatin National Forest and Custer National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of the Beartooth region. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Sliderock Mtn, Evergreen Mtn, and Sugarloaf Mtn, which separate the drainage systems of Upper Deer Cr and Lower Deer Cr. Historically, the area shows evidence of early resource extraction and transport through features like Placer Gulch, Tie Cutter Gulch, and Iron Mountain Rd. The presence of Dead Indian Spring and Dead Indian Cr in the southwest corner suggests long-standing geographic landmarks for travelers navigating this wilderness. This 2014 survey documents the remote boundary where Sweet Grass and Stillwater counties meet, illustrating the complex network of draws and ridges such as Derby Ridge and Fire Ridge that characterize the forest interior.
