1950 Map of Cameron

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Madison Range peaks dominate the eastern horizon of this 1950s survey, rising sharply above the expansive Cameron Bench. This landscape is defined by its mid-century ranching and resource economy, centered around the settlement of Cameron and numerous family holdings such as Storey Ranch, Olsen Ranch, and Armitage Ranch. The Madison River flows through the center of the quadrangle, crossed by the Mc Ateee Bridge, while a network of irrigation ditches like the Cummings Ditch supports the valley floor. High in the mountains, the extractive history of the region is visible at the Mountain Talc Mine and Ruby Mine, while the timber industry is represented by the Krauss Sawmill. The presence of the Beaverhead National Forest is marked by the Bear Creek Ranger Station and Wall Creek Ranger Station, illustrating the integration of federal land management with local ranching life.
