1997 Map of Antone Peak

About this map

The Snowcrest Range dominates the eastern high ground of this landscape, where the headwaters of the East Fork Blacktail Deer Creek begin their descent. This 1990s revision of earlier topography documents the intersection of working forest and conservation, where the Beaverhead National Forest meets a dedicated State Wildlife Management Area. Human presence is concentrated at the Antone Guard Station and Cornell Camp, reflecting the management of these remote Montana highlands for wildlife and resource preservation. The drainage system is intricate, with numerous named water sources like Seybold Spring and Indian Spring feeding the forks of the Blacktail Deer Creek. A primitive network of trails, including the Sawtooth Trail and Lodgepole Trail, connects high-elevation landmarks such as Antone Pass and Sawtooth Mountain, providing a detailed look at the backcountry infrastructure used by rangers and researchers at the end of the twentieth century.
