1996 Map of Burnt Mountain

About this map

High-altitude administrative and wilderness management sites define this mid-1990s survey of the Continental Divide region. The High Rye Work Center serves as a lone operational anchor in a landscape dominated by the DEERLODGE NATIONAL FOREST and BEAVERHEAD NATIONAL FOREST. The map traces the sharp topography of the divide as it weaves through the summit of Burnt Mountain and along the Fleecer Ridge, illustrating the intricate boundaries between state-managed wildlife areas and federal forest lands. This edition reflects the specialized land use of the era, where remote outposts supported forest service operations and wildlife management across the rugged transitions of the Fleecer Mountain State Wildlife Management Area. Researchers will find a precise record of late 20th-century forest boundaries and the network of improved and unimproved roads that provided access to these remote Montana highlands.
