2000 Map of Campfire Lake

About this map

Gallatin National Forest encompasses the high country of the Big Timber Ranger District and Livingston Ranger District in this 2000 revision. The map details a complex drainage network where the Shields River and Sunlight Creek carve through the mountain landscape near Bald Ridge. Glacial activity is evident in the cluster of high-elevation water bodies, including Campfire Lake, Moose Lake, and the remote Dead Horse Lakes tucked beneath steep ridgelines. Geologists and outdoorsmen can trace the various forks of Elk Creek and Daisy Creek as they descend from prominent summits like Sugarloaf Mountain and Sunlight Peak. This survey represents the area's wilderness character at the turn of the 21st century, showing the intricate topography before modern digital mapping became the standard.
