About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses the majority of this high-elevation Meagher County terrain, where drainage patterns define the landscape. The northern reaches are marked by Higgins Park and the headwaters of numerous creeks including Lamb Cr and Getis Cr. Moving south, the terrain is dominated by the prominent Volcano Butte, a central landmark overlooking the winding course of the N Fork Smith River.

Evidence of local land use and access is found in the network of forest roads and trails, such as Stud Horse Rd and the Jamison Trl near the eastern boundary. The southern edge of the survey reveals Lake Sutherlin and the confluence of N Fork Eightmile Cr, providing a detailed look at the watershed before it leaves the national forest boundaries. This 2014 record documents the modern state of these protected Montana highlands, from the peaks down to named drainages like Copper Cr and Sawmill Cr.
