About this map

Lewis and Clark National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Meagher County, where a complex network of tributaries feeds the region's major drainages. The area is defined by prominent peaks including Strawberry Butte, Black Butte, and Iron Butte, which served as critical landmarks for early surveyors and travelers. Evidence of historic resource extraction is visible through several Prospects located in the southern portion of the quadrangle near the headwaters of Black Butte Creek.

The hydrography of the region is notably dense, with Sheep Creek and its many branches like Little Sheep Creek and Spring Calf Creek carving through the terrain. To the north, Allan Park provides a distinct opening in the timbered highlands, situated near the confluence of Allan Creek and the West Fork Middle Fork. The presence of Moose Pass indicates a natural transit point through the ridges, connecting the Moose Creek drainage with the western slopes.
