1971 Map of Bald Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Lewis and Clark National Forest spans this mountain landscape in Meagher County, defined by the sharp transition between the Rimrock Ridge and the deep drainage of Tenderfoot Creek. The 1971 survey captures a pocket of Montana wilderness where human activity is limited to remote outposts like the Zehntner Ranch and scattered industrial traces, including a Mine and a Prospect located near the northern slopes. The topography is intricately dissected by seasonal coulees and gulches, such as Cow Coulee and Deadman Gulch, which feed into larger water systems like Blacktail Creek. Navigation across these high elevations, ranging from Old Baldy to the Bald Hills, relies on a network of a Pack Trail and a Jeep Trail, illustrating the rugged, non-motorized access typical of this national forest interior during the early 1970s.
