2011 Map of Sulphur Bar Creek

About this map

Sulphur Bar Creek and its tributaries define the drainage patterns of this mountain landscape in Broadwater County. The map details a network of canyons and gulches, including the Middle Fork Cabin Gulch and East Fork Cabin Gulch, which converge near Cabin Gulch. Resource extraction and water management are evident at the southern and eastern margins, where the Snowbank Mine and Bigler Mine sit near the ridge line, and the Higgins Brothers Number 2 Dam holds back the waters of Deep Creek. Historical transit is represented by the Flathead Indian Trail Rd, which cuts across the central terrain near Black Butte. This survey provides a look at the intersection of modern forestry access and older mountain trails, with the Deep Creek Picnic Area serving as a primary point of recreation along the main waterway.
