About this map

Big Baldy Mountain and Yogo Peak dominate this high-elevation terrain within the Lewis and Clark National Forest during the mid-1990s. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and glacial features, including Twin Lakes and Rhoda Lake nestled beneath the northern peaks, while Lake Elsa sits just east of the Yogo summit. This area is a critical watershed where Dry Wolf Creek and Yogo Creek originate, flowing through steep corridors like Silver Gulch and Boulder Gulch.

The mapping shows the boundary between the Judith and Kings Hill Ranger Districts, a division reflecting federal land management priorities of the era. Significant landmarks for navigation and land use include Prospect Ridge and isolated summits like Tepee Butte and Cabin Mountain. The presence of Gravel Gulch and Iron Gulch suggests the geological character that once drove regional prospecting interest in the Little Belt Mountains.
