1996 Map of Alder Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

The Deerlodge National Forest and Lolo National Forest converge in this high-elevation portion of Granite County, defining a landscape of deep drainages and prominent divides. Significant geographical markers like Hogback Ridge and Sandstone Ridge partition the terrain, which is dominated by a complex network of seasonal and perennial streams. The drainage patterns, including Alder Gulch and Niles Gulch, illustrate the watershed of the Sapphire Mountains before the turn of the 21st century. Access into the back-country is highlighted by the Ranch Creek Trail, reflecting the area's primary use for timber management and forest recreation. While largely devoid of permanent settlements, the map details numerous named features like Scotchman Gulch and Baboon Gulch that provide specific geographic references for those studying local land-use history or forest management boundaries.
