2020 Map of Stony Creek

About this map

Lolo National Forest, Deerlodge National Forest, and Bitterroot National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of numerous creeks carve through the Montana terrain. The map captures a complex drainage system led by Stony Cr and its tributaries, including Little Stony Cr and Camp Cr. In the southwest corner, Stony Lake sits near the forest boundaries, while Rock Creek flows through the northeast, crossed by the Windlass Bridge. Numerous named gulches such as Schively Gulch, Lawrie Gulch, and Coal Gulch suggest a history of local exploration or resource identification in this heavily forested region. The intricate network of forest roads, including Upper Rock Creek Rd and Co Rd 5003, provides the primary access through the steep drainages and mountain passes of the Bitterroot range.
