2011 Map of The Big Slide

About this map

The Big Slide and Gramps Bluff define the south-central elevation of this Carbon County landscape, where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of south-central Montana. The map documents a network of rural routes, including Selmes Bridger Rd and Bridger Roberts Rd, which connect remote ranching interests to the regional watersheds. These waters, including Elbow Creek and Cedar Creek, carve distinct paths through the terrain toward the southern boundary. A notable point of interest for those tracking local landmarks is Cherry Spring, located just south of Cow Creek Rd. The drainage of North Fork Sand Creek in the south provides a detailed look at the local topography before it joins Sand Creek near the eastern margin.
