2024 Map of Sulphur Bar Creek

About this map

Helena National Forest dominates this section of the Big Belt Mountains, where a complex network of forest roads and pack trails navigates the high elevations between the Missouri River drainage and the Smith River watershed. The historic Flathead Indian Trail Rd provides a significant touchstone for early trans-mountain movement, cutting across the center of the map toward the southern drainages. High points like Grassy Mtn and Black Butte overlook the narrow valleys formed by Sulphur Bar Creek and the upper reaches of Greyson Creek. The landscape transitions from the open timber and meadows of Munding Flat to steep canyons carved by Deep Creek and its tributaries, including Cedar Bar Creek. This modern survey documents the contemporary trail system, featuring the Klondike Pass Connection Trl and various routes along Windy Ridge, illustrating the ongoing management of this wilderness terrain for recreation and conservation.
