1988 Map of Bighorn Mountain

About this map

The Gravelly Range dominates this portion of Madison County, providing a high-elevation landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Ruby River and South Fork Standard Creek. This 1988 provisional edition captures a region primarily dedicated to forest management and seasonal ranching within the Beaverhead National Forest. Notable human imprints include the Relish Sheep Headquarters at the southern edge and the Black Butte Cabin situated near the base of the prominent Black Butte. The presence of Adit and Prospects labels near Wolverine Basin indicates the area's history of mineral exploration. High-country water features like Kelly Reservoir and Wall Creek Lake are connected by a network of unimproved routes, including the Gravelly Range Road, which serves as a primary artery through these summits.
