About this map

Wild Horse Parks and the high terrain of Fivemile Ridge define this landscape along the border of Granite and Powell counties. The topography is deeply incised by a network of drainages including Douglas Creek, Black Bear Creek, and Fivemile Creek, reflecting a remote mountain environment focused on water access and natural passage. Isolated water sources like Nelson Spring provided vital points of interest for early travelers and locals navigating the steep gulches.

Local navigation follows the contours of the land, with established routes such as Garnet Range Rd, Murray Creek Rd, and Boiler Gulch Rd tracing the valley floors and ridges. Named features such as Wet Mulkey Gulch, Walker Gulch, and Rattler Gulch indicate a history of local identification and usage, common in Montana's high country where gulches often served as the primary locations for prospectors or homesteaders.
