1968 Map of Antelope Peak

About this map

Antelope Peak stands as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape within the Beaverhead National Forest of southwestern Montana. The terrain is defined by the dramatic slopes of the Snowcrest Range and the Long Divide, where numerous drainages like Fish Creek and Brundage Creek carve through the mountain facets. To the south, the topographic relief gives way to the broad Centennial Valley, dominated by the meandering course of the Red Rock River. The presence of the Lima Reservoir and the Gaging Sta along the river highlights the importance of water management in this arid ranching and forest region. Travelers and land managers in the late 1960s relied on the Centennial Divide Road to navigate this complex geography of timber and high-country pasture.
