About this map

Wolf Butte and Granite Mountain dominate this section of the Lewis and Clark National Forest in Judith Basin County. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the headwaters of Wolf Creek and Dry Wolf Creek carve deep through the terrain. Political naming conventions of the era are reflected in the landscape, most notably with the parallel paths of Democrat Gulch and Republican Gulch in the southwest corner.

Resource extraction and water access are evident through several Prospects, a Gravel Pit, and various water sources like Big Spring and Surprise Creek. The map documents the intricate management boundaries of the Judith Ranger District Boundary, showing the intersection of public land use and natural topography. These features provide a clear record of the area's mid-to-late 20th-century character, balancing forest conservation with small-scale industrial activity.
