1968 Map of Caribou Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape in the late 1960s, marking the boundary between the Lewis and Clark National Forest and the Helena National Forest. The terrain is defined by prominent summits such as Caribou Peak and Monitor Mountain, which serve as the headwaters for a dense network of mountain streams. This topography is dominated by steep drainages, including the uniquely named Baking Powder Creek and Fickler Creek, which flow southward away from the divide. Remote backcountry travel is indicated by the West Fork Falls Trail and the Caribou Divide Trail, providing access to high-elevation water bodies like Bighorn Lake. The presence of pack trails suggests a landscape primarily utilized for wilderness management and seasonal recreation, far removed from permanent settlements.
