1967 Map of Bubbling Springs

About this map

Lewis and Clark National Forest spans this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Cascade and Meagher counties. The area is defined by a series of alpine meadows and clearings designated as parks, including Iron Mines Park, Deer Park, Central Park, and Williams Park. These open spaces are connected by an extensive network of pack trails that navigate the drainages of Tenderfoot Creek and Placer Creek. Evidence of early mineral exploration is visible through several marked prospects and prospect sites, particularly near the summit of Iron Mountain. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by significant geographic landmarks like Williams Mountain and the prominent Quartzite Ridge, while the namesake Bubbling Springs provides a localized water source within this heavily forested montane environment.
