2017 Map of Tucker Creek

About this map

Woodin and the settlement of Divide anchor this topographic view of the Silver Bow County landscape, where the continental divide transitions into high mountain drainages and steep gulches. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal and perennial waters, including the headwaters of Divide Cr and the eastern flow of Tucker Cr. Within the bounds of the Deerlodge National Forest, numerous named gulches like Freezeout Gulch, Climax Gulch, and Selway Gulch suggest a history of prospecting or local naming conventions common to Montana's mining districts. High-elevation features like Butler Meadow and the S Fork Reservoir sit above the valley floor, while roads such as St Hwy 91 and the oddly named Humbug Acres Rd trace the path of modern travel and habitation through this high-country corridor.
