1966 Map of Big Hole Battlefield

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Big Hole National Battlefield occupies the southeastern corner of this mid-1960s study, preserving the site of the 1877 conflict within the Beaverhead National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the steep slopes of Battle Mountain and the winding course of the North Fork Big Hole River. Local history and archaeology are represented by specific markers such as the Howitzer Pit, while the region's industrial past is visible through evidence of resource extraction. Dredge Tailings along the South Fork and a Prospect on the western flank of the mountain point to the area's mining heritage. A complex network of Pack Trails, Foot Trails, and Jeep Trails crisscrosses the high basins, including Beaver Pond Basin and Maybee Meadows, reflecting the movement of rangers, hunters, and historians through this protected Montana wilderness.
