About this map

Sliderock Mtn and the surrounding high country of the Beartooth foothills dominate this landscape, which straddles the boundary of Gallatin National Forest and Custer National Forest. The map details a complex drainage system where the W-Fork Upper Deer Creek and Lower Deer Creek carve through steep ridges and gulches. Names like Tie Cutter Gulch and Placer Gulch suggest a history of early timber work and mineral prospecting in these mountain drainages.

The presence of Lodgepole Cr and numerous springs, including Dead Indian Spring, highlights the critical water sources in this high-altitude environment. Distinctive peaks such as Evergreen Mtn, Boone Peak, and Hicks Mtn provide clear landmarks for navigating the terrain. This map captures the intersection of Sweet Grass and Stillwater counties in an area defined by its significant relief and lack of permanent settlements, outside of named tracks like Meyers Creek Rd.
