About this map

Deerlodge National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this map, where the high terrain is defined by Negro Mtn, Moffet Mtn, and Pandora Mtn. The landscape is a complex network of drainage basins and gulches, with Soap Gulch and the Left Fork Soap Gulch carving paths through the northwestern peaks. Further south, the boundary between Silver Bow Co and Madison Co runs through the central valley, a significant marker for local researchers and genealogists tracing property lines and jurisdictional history in this part of Montana.

Transportation through these hills relies on primitive routes like Camp Creek Rd and Soap Gulch Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. Waterways such as Wickiup Cr and Rochester Cr drain the southern slopes near King and Queen Hill. The layout of these gulches, including Sawmill Gulch and Moffet Gulch, suggests a history tied to resource extraction and timber management typical of the region's mountain economy.
