1996 Map of Bison Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Bison Canyon serves as a central corridor for this high-altitude landscape within the Deer Lodge National Forest during the mid-1990s. The map highlights a long-standing land-use pattern where a Stock Driveway runs parallel to Bison Creek, marking a historical route for moving livestock through the mountains. Industry and recreation intersect here, evidenced by the Eureka Mine and numerous Prospects scattered across the slopes of Sullivan Mountain and Mount Pisgah, alongside modern amenities like the National Recreation Trail. Water sources are vital in this terrain, ranging from the headwaters of the Little Boulder River and Homestake Creek to several high-mountain meadows like Dunks Meadow and Hidden Meadows. This survey provides a look at the interplay between timber management, mining history, and the preserved wilderness near the Butte-Jefferson County line.
