About this map

Deerlodge National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Jefferson County landscape, where the high country is carved by a network of steep drainages including Watertank Gulch and Tacoma Gulch. The elevation falls away toward the south into the Boulder Valley, a transition defined by the meandering course of the Boulder River. This lower terrain shows the impact of early agricultural engineering with the Carey-Twohy Ditch diverting water alongside Coyote Trl.

Historically significant water sources like Tacoma Spring and Deadman Spring are found at higher altitudes, while the valley floor is crisscrossed by established routes such as Lower Valley Rd and Dry Creek Rd. The map illustrates a classic Montana mountain-to-valley progression, where the timbered slopes of Tacoma Park give way to the riparian system of Elkhorn Cr and the open plains near Jack Cr.
