1968 Map of Caribou Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-elevation landscape, marking the boundary between the Helena National Forest and Lewis and Clark National Forest. Centered on the prominence of Caribou Peak, the map details a complex network of drainages and seasonal watercourses including Baking Powder Creek and Alice Creek. This 1960s survey illustrates a wilderness defined by its absence of permanent settlements, focused instead on the topographical reality of peaks like Monitor Mountain and Bear Den Mountain. Human presence is marked primarily by historic routes such as the Caribou Trail and Falls Trail, which navigate the steep terrain surrounding Bighorn Lake. The intricate contouring around Skull Gulch and Toms Gulch provides a clear view of the watersheds that feed the various forks of the Missouri River system at this high altitude.
