Tillinghast Creek Ranch in Belt Park Is Located in Belt Tillinghast CreekBELT, MONTANARanch in Belt Park Hunting | Ranching | Fly Fishing | Conservation BELT,Tillinghast MONTANA Creek Ranch in Belt Park Introduction: Tillinghast Creek Ranch in Belt Park is located in Belt, Montana, near the historic town of Neihart in the Little Belt Mountains. This idyllic 325-acre ranch is a sportsman’s paradise. A trout filled stream, lush meadows and forests offer excellent fishing and hunting adventures. The ranch is a one-hour drive from Great Falls, which is Montana’s second largest city and a center for cultural activities. Commercial air service is available at the Great Falls International Airport. There are many recreational opportunities from bird watching to small stream fishing to big game and bird hunting, available on the ranch and nearby in the neighboring national forest. Skiing and hiking can be enjoyed at the nearby Showdown Ski Area and Kings Hill Recreational Area. Both are a twenty- minute drive from the ranch. This ranch is custom-made for the outdoor enthusiast in a setting that is unrivalled. Jack McInerney, Sales Associate Craig Janssen, Associate Broker Toll Free: 866.734.6100 Office: 406.586.6010 www.LiveWaterProperties.com Location: The ranch is located in western Montana, in Belt, twelve miles from two old mining towns, Monarch and Neihart. Great Falls is a one-hour drive northwest on Highway 89, also known as the Kings Hill Scenic Byway. Snow removal crews work throughout the winter season to keep this highway open for year round access. Highway 89 spans Montana, connecting Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks. The Great Falls International Airport provides service by four major airline carriers. Livingston and the famed Yellowstone River are ninety minutes south, with Yellowstone National Park’s original entrance fifty-five miles further to the south on Highway 89. Acreage: The ranch consists of approximately 325 deeded acres. The acreage is divided into approximately 136 acres of grazing, 107 acres of wild hay, 75 acres of timber and 7 acres that envelope the buildings. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Improvements: The small modern cabin is positioned on a bench to the west of the creek offering excellent views. Additionally, there is a log barn and two log outbuildings. A second cabin is currently leased by the adjoining landowner who oversees the ranch operations. Ranch Operation: The ranch is currently leased as pasture for a larger cattle operation. An incoming owner will have the opportunity to cancel or renegotiate this lease during the sale of the ranch. Historically, this portion of the ranch provided 100 acres of hay base for the winter feed and holding facilities for calving. Live Water: Tillinghast Creek is a classic Montana mountain stream filled with populations of cutthroat and brook trout, which thrive on the ranch property. The stream’s consistent flow provides the ideal habitat for fish growth and reproduction. Tillinghast Creek flows north and supplements Belt Creek, located four miles from the ranch. Belt Creek continues forty miles north and feeds into the Missouri River above the historic town of Fort Benton. Both Belt Creek and the Missouri provide a variety of fishing opportunities. The famous headwater rivers of the Missouri are within a two-hour drive to the south and southwest. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Hunting and Wildlife: This area of Montana is known for its remarkable elk and deer hunting opportunities. The Tillinghast Creek Ranch’s location provides archery and rifle potential for harvesting trophy animals both on the ranch and on the isolated USFS lands behind the ranch’s western edge. Re-establishing alfalfa or small grains on old crop ground would increase wildlife sightings. Moose, bears, mountain lions, bobcats and mountain grouse call the Belt Park area home. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Recreation: Skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing are popular local winter recreational activities. Showdown Ski Area, the oldest Montana ski area, is approximately twenty miles from the property. King’s Hill Recreation Area is adjacent to the ski area and provides mile upon mile of snowmobile riding. In summertime, there are numerous lakes, streams and rivers in the area where one can enjoy boating, fishing, swimming and relaxing. Exploring the wilderness and mountains in the area on horseback, ATV, mountain bike, or on foot offer days of fun and adventure every year. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Area History: Silver was first discovered in the Neihart area in 1881, and the town was first called Jericho. Ore was hauled to Fort Benton and loaded on river boats for processing downstream. The community struggled for survival in its remote location until new life was brought to the area by way of a Montana Central Railroad spur in 1891. Monarch came to be at this time as a service community for the Neihart, Barker, and Hughesville mining camps. Hughesville became Montana’s top lead producing district up through the period following World War I. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Summary • 325 acres bordered by USFS land • Mountain stream fishing on Tillinghast Creek • Small modern cabin and a log barn • Excellent bow and rifle big game hunting • One hour to Great Falls International Airport • Twenty minutes to Showdown Ski Area and Kings Hill Recreational Area PRICE: $1,200,000 TAXES: $688 in 2013 CONTACT: Jack McInerney, Sales Associate Craig Janssen, Associate Broker Toll Free: 866.734.6100 Office: 406.586.6010 Notes: 1) This is an exclusive listing of Live Water Properties LLC; an agent of Live Water Properties must be present to conduct a showing.

  • Hunting Districts 315 and 580)
    CRAZY MOUNTAINS EMU (Hunting Districts 315 and 580) Description: This 1,708-square-mile EMU includes the Crazy Mountain Range and adjacent foothill and prairie habitats in south central Montana. The area is a mixture of private (78%) and public (22%) lands, including portions of both the Gallatin and Lewis and Clark national forests (16%), state school trust lands (DNRC – 5%), and USDI Bureau of Land Management (BLM – 0.2%). Land ownership patterns within the boundary of the national forests are characterized by checkerboard ownership. The EMU contains two roadless areas encompassing 149,467 acres of public and private lands that offer wilderness-type recreation. However, much of this roadless area is not elk habitat. This EMU contains over 590,000 acres of occupied elk habitat (54% of EMU). National forest lands provide a large portion of spring, summer and fall elk habitat, but private lands in mountain foothill and sagebrush-grassland habitats provide over 80% of elk winter range during normal winters and virtually all of the available winter range during severe winters. Public Access: Access by road to elk habitat is limited in most of HD 580 where the checkerboard pattern of land ownership complicates management of access. With few exceptions, public access to elk habitat on the north and east slopes of the Crazies is controlled entirely by private landowners. There are only 3 points in HD 580 where the public may legally access national forest lands – the Big Timber Canyon road in the southeast corner, the Cottonwood Creek/Forest Lake road on the north end and Sixteenmile Creek in the northwest corner of the hunting district.

Marten were historically present in the Little Belts but were likely extirpated by the early 20th century. Habitat models and biologists predict that there is extensive high-quality marten habitat in the Little Belts and marten currently occur in adjacent mountain ranges. FWP proposes to initially capture up to 60 marten in southwest MT over the next two winters. The intent of the reintroduction is to establish a selÊsustaining and genetically diverse population of marten in the Little Belt Mountain complex. Additional copies of the draft EA are available at Montana Fish, V/ildlife & Parks in Great Falls at (406) 454-5840. The draft EA is also available on the F'WP website at http://fi¡¡p.mt.gov/news/publicNotices/. A2l-day public review and comment period will be available July 10 - July 31,2020.

The Albuquerque Zone Type 3 Incident Management Team will assume command of the American Fork Fire. Current Situation: Cool, wet weather continues to limit fire behavior. Firefighters are strengthening containment and contingency lines and working to add containment on the Woods Creek and American Fork fires. Due to more accurate mapping, the acreage estimates for the Balsinger and Woods Creek Fires are slightly different today. American Fork Fire Acreage: 21,876 | Containment: 57% | Start date: July 17, 2021 | Cause: Lightning | Personnel: 132 The American Fork Fire is burning in the central part of the Crazy Mountains, approximately 24 miles southwest of Harlowton, Montana. On the east side of the fire, crews in Division A are working with engines to contain the remaining line near the Middle Fork American Fork Creek. The southeast portion of the fire is in patrol status. In Division P, firefighters will continue constructing direct fire line from Buck Creek Road, working east. Engines and crews are improving containment lines. There has been no change in the fire perimeter for ten days on the west side. They are backhauling pumps, tanks, and equipment around structures.

    This file was created by scanning the printed publication. Errors identified by the software have been corrected; however, some errors may remain. APPENDIX A BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT TCEF Research Project for LEWIS AND CLARK NATIONAL FOREST PREPARED BY Donald Godtel Forest Wildlife Biologist December 17, 1997 Updated November 1, 1998 to reflect status of lynx I. INTRODUCTION An environmental analysis has been prepared which describes and evaluates the management alternatives for the timber harvest and bW11ing within the Tenderfoot Creek Experimental Forest (TCEF) project area. The project area lies within the headwaters of the Tenderfoot drainage of the Lewis and Clark National Forest (Map I-I ofEA). The purpose of this biological assessment is to review the possible effects of the preferred alternative on endangered, threatened, proposed and candidate species and their habitats in order to determine whether or not a "may adversely affect" situation exists. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) will test an array of management treatments for re­ generating and restoring healthy lodgepole pine forests through emulation of natural distur­ bance processes, but avoiding catastrophic scale disturbances. This research project will harvest timber in two treatment sub-watersheds, Spring Park Creek and Sun Creek. These drainages have hydrologically matched sub-watersheds located to the west of each which will be used as control areas for treatment sub-watershed effects. An additional control area will be the headwaters of Tenderfoot Creek which is a Research Natural Area (Onion Park RNA). The silvicultural system used will be shelterwood with reserves using even distribution of single or small groups and uneven distribution and shape of large residual groups.

Embracing large, diverse, and complex geologic features, the park is in an area that is critical to the interpretation of many significant regional geologic problems. In order to provide basic data bearing on these problems, the U.S. Geological Survey in 1965 initiated a broad pro­ gram of comprehensive geologic and geophysical investigations within the park. This program was carried out with the cooperation of the National Park Service, and was also aided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which supported the gathering of geologic information needed in testing and in interpreting results from various remote sensing devices. This professional paper chapter is one of a series of technical geo­ logic reports resulting from these investigations.
