1972 Map of Campfire Lake

About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this high-elevation terrain in Park County, Montana, as it appeared in the early 1970s. The area is defined by a complex drainage network where the Shields River and various forks of Horse Creek and Porcupine Creek originate. Human presence is light and strictly operational, evidenced by the Porcupine Guard Sta in the north and the Ibex Guard Sta near the southern boundary. These outposts served as critical hubs for forest management and fire lookout support in an era when access relied heavily on a network of Pack Trails and a few specialized Jeep Trails.
