1997 Map of Bad Luck Creek

About this map

Madison River and its western fork dominate this high-altitude landscape in the late 1990s, where the Madison Ranger District managed a mix of recreation and working ranch lands. Local sites like the Shelton Ranch and West Fork Cow Camp indicate the area's ongoing pastoral utility, while the Lyon Guard Station marks the administrative presence within the Beaverhead National Forest. To the east, the terrain rises into the Madison Range and the protected Metcalf (Taylor Hilgard Unit) Wilderness. Notable hydrological features include Wolf Creek Hot Springs in the northwest and various tributaries such as Bad Luck Creek and Moose Creek. Recreation is heavily concentrated along the river corridor, evidenced by the West Fork Campground, Riverview Campground, and Madison Campground, along with a Boat Ramp for river access.
