1988 Map of Bear Trap Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Madison River carves a deep path through this Montana landscape, defining the western edge of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness and the Gallatin National Forest. The 1988 topography captures the transition from the Madison Plateau down to the riverbanks, where tributary systems like Hot Springs Creek and Cherry Creek feed into the main channel. Evidence of small-scale mountain industry is scattered throughout the drainages, with several Prospects and Mine Shafts marked near the river and its smaller branches. This provisional survey highlights the intersection of public land preservation and legacy mining activity, anchored by prominent peaks like Red Mountain. To the east, the terrain rises toward the Savannah, while the Madison River remains the central artery for both recreation, indicated by a riverside Campground, and the local drainage network including Bear Trap Creek and Pole Creek.
