1999 Map of Boyd Mountain

About this map

The St Regis River flows through the heart of the Lolo National Forest, carving a narrow valley floor that has historically served as a vital corridor for travel and communication. This late-twentieth-century landscape is defined by the high peaks of Boyd Mountain and Camel Hump, where a network of tributary drainages like Wolf Creek and Keith Creek feeds the river system. The presence of Mullan Gulch hints at the enduring legacy of early transportation routes through these northern mountain passes. Steep timbered ridges and deep-cut gulches, including Wilson Gulch and Twentymile Creek, dominate the terrain, reflecting the conservation-focused management of the Forest Service during the 1990s. The map illustrates a landscape where human utility is concentrated along the riverbanks, while the vast majority of the quadrangle remains a wilderness of named creeks and high summits.
