The range you are asking about is the Little Snowies. Lots of National Forest, a school board section, BLM land entangled with landowners. Did not spend much time in the Snowies but did take a bull in the southwest area. The drive from Billings up to Grass Range is food for the soul. Lots of access points into the National Forrest (Snowies). Eddie's Corner was a big truck stop with showers - after several days of camping in the Belks or Missouri Breaks, a warm shower was heaven.
Not trying to sound like a know it all - but the spaciousness of that area is hard to understand/imagine. When I moved to Montana from the southeast, I was invited to go on a family opening weekend deer hunt on the north shore of Fort Peck. My instructions were to go north on US 191 until I crossed the Missouri take a right and follow the signs to the camp ground. 114 miles of gravel road and I arrived or the approximate distance from Shreveport to Bastrop on gravel roads. Never leave a gas station in that country unless you have a full tank.
Apologize for the hijack

Actually, the range straight to the south of Lewistown is the Big Snowys. The Little Snowys range joins the Big Snowys southeast of Lewistown. The Big Snowys is more like true mountains, while the Little Snowys is more like foothills.
