About this map

The Sawtooth Range rises sharply across this landscape, where the high plains of the Blackfoot Valley Conservation Area meet the eastern front of the Rocky Mountains. This 2024 survey documents a complex network of drainage systems, including the North Fork Dupuyer Creek and the Middle Fork Dry Fork Marias River, which carve through the foothills. The area is defined by significant conservation and wilderness protections, with the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Lewis & Clark National Forest covering the western portions of the quadrangle.

Notable geological features such as Volcano Reef and the steep walls of Blackleaf Canyon highlight the transition from prairie to mountain. The map details remote access routes like the Mt Frazier-Chicken Coulee Trl and Blackleaf Trl, which provide passage through the rugged coulees and ridges that characterize this part of Montana. For those researching the history of land management and recreation in the Teton County region, these precise topographical details are invaluable.
