1988 Map of Beacon Point

About this map

Spanish Peaks define the high country of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness in this 1980s Montana survey. The landscape is characterized by a network of glaciated basins and drainage systems, including Newell Basin and the headwaters of Spanish Creek. Notable high-altitude water bodies such as Arrow Lake, Grayling Lake, and Diamond Lake are reached via a primary Pack Trail that winds through the protected forest land. At the lower elevations, the Gallatin River flows along the eastern boundary, marked by a Gaging Sta and the distinctive landmark of Sheep Rock. The Spanish Creek FS Station provides a human footprint on the northern edge of the wilderness, serving as a gateway to the steep ascents toward Beacon Point and the Madison County line. This record captures the backcountry geography as it was managed in the late 20th century, before the era of modern digital mapping.
