1995 Map of South Bench

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

The Little Snowy Mountains dominate this 1995 revision, marking a rugged transition where the elevated terrain of the Lewis and Clark National Forest meets the surrounding plains. The landscape is defined by its distinct bench formations, including Middle Bench and South Bench, which terrace the land between descending drainages. Water management and natural flow are central to the topography, as seen in the diverging paths of North Fork Flatwillow Creek and South Fork Flatwillow Creek. Administratively, the map captures the jurisdictional intersection of the Musselshell Ranger District and the boundaries of Fergus, Golden Valley, and Musselshell counties. This survey reflects the mid-1990s character of central Montana, where forest service roads and high-altitude springs like those feeding Willow Creek represent the primary human imprint on a predominantly wilderness landscape.
