1950 Map of Cameron

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Madison Bench overlooks a high-mountain landscape where agricultural rills and alpine peaks converge. In the early post-war era, the settlement of Cameron served as a central point for a network of working livestock operations, including the Olsen Ranch, Armitage Ranch, and Storey Ranch. The terrain shifts dramatically from the open valley floor to the dense timber of the Madison National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest. This 1950 field check captures the area's mid-century industrial footprint, from timber production at the Krauss Sawmill to mineral extraction at the Mountain Talc Mine and Ruby Mine. High-elevation landmarks like The Helmet and No Man Peak define the eastern skyline, while the drainage of Indian Creek and Wolf Creek support the region's irrigation and ranching economy.
