About this map

The Lewis & Clark National Forest covers the northeastern portion of this quadrangle, defining a high-elevation landscape of drainages and reservoirs in Meagher County. Whitetail Reservoir is the central hydrologic feature, fed by the Whitetail-Deer Cr and its northern tributary, Decker Gulch. To the south, the Dry Fork Whitetail-Deer Cr winds through the terrain, illustrating the complex network of mountain streams that characterize this part of Montana.

Lower elevations are marked by the presence of Mud Spring and the Smith River, which flows through the southwestern corner of the sheet. The local road network, including Fort Logan Rd and Whitetail Rd, provides access to these remote watersheds. This 2017 survey reflects a landscape largely dedicated to public forest land and water resource management, where seasonal creeks like Hatch Cr and Rabbit Cr crisscross the township boundaries of T11N and T10N.
