1956 Map of Alpine

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Mystic Lake Hydroelectric Plant stands as a primary industrial landmark in this high-altitude landscape where Stillwater and Carbon Counties meet. This mid-century survey captures a region defined by the intersection of three major protected areas: Custer National Forest, Gallatin National Forest, and Shoshone National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage system flowing through the Beartooth Plateau, where numerous glacial remnants such as the Sundance Glacier and Castle Rock Glacier feed into water bodies like East Rosebud Lake and Rainbow Lake. At Alpine, the road network terminates, giving way to the high peaks of the Silver Run Plateau. The topography shows a transition from the lower valleys to extreme elevations, marked by Whitetail Peak and Mount Rearguard along the Montana-Wyoming border.
