1972 Map of Canyon Ferry

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Helena National Forest dominates the landscape in this early 1970s survey, where the Missouri River has been transformed by large-scale water management projects. The map centers on the northern reach of Canyon Ferry Lake and its transition into Hauser Lake via the Canyon Ferry Dam. This infrastructure supports the nearby Powerplant and various recreation points such as the Court Sheriff Recreation Area and Canyon Ferry Recreation Area. North of the water, the terrain is marked by the legacy of mining in the Big Belt Mountains. Evidence of extraction is found at the Golden Messenger Mine and Little Dandy Mine near York, along with scattered prospects throughout the numerous gulches like Kingsberry Gulch and German Gulch. The intersection of industrial utility and mountain wilderness is clear, from the pumping station to the high peaks of Hedges Mountain.
