1997 Map of Bucks Nest

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The Madison River corridor and its associated riparian lands are the primary focus of this late-1990s survey, illustrating a landscape managed for both recreation and resource extraction. Significant land tracts are dedicated to conservation, notably the Wall Creek State Wildlife Management Area and the Beaverhead National Forest. This era shows a high level of activity in the hills, from the industrial footprint of the Cyprus Talc Mine near Johnny Gulch to smaller excavations like the Prospect Ruby Mine. Human presence is marked by isolated outposts like the Wall Creek FS Station and Olsen Ranch, while the river itself supports seasonal access via the McAtee Bridge Boat Ramp. The mapping of the Olsen Ditch and Kremer Ditch reveals the critical role of water management in supporting the agricultural potential of the Cameron Bench.
