2014 Map of West Valley

About this map

Deerlodge National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, where deep gulches and high ridges define the topography of Deer Lodge County. The settlement of West Valley serves as a local hub near the southern base of Stucky Ridge, connected by a network of local roads such as N Cable Rd and Rumsey St. To the west, Stump Town sits tucked away near Big Gulch, illustrating the small-scale residential pockets that formed around the area's natural resource extraction and ranching history. The terrain is marked by colorfully named drainages like Blue Eyed Nellie Gulch, Tin Can Gulch, and Ice House Gulch, all carved into the slopes of peaks like Garrity Mtn and Olson Mtn. Warm Springs Cr and Lost Cr provide the primary drainage for these steep valleys, while landmarks like Hatcher Field and Thornton Ridge offer specific points of orientation for researchers tracing land use and local development.
