2001 Map of Caribou Peak

About this map

Caribou Peak and the high ridges of the Montana backcountry define this 2001 revision, which captures the intersection of the Lewis and Clark National Forest and the Helena National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the protected Scapegoat Wilderness, where high alpine features like Bighorn Lake feed into a complex network of drainages including the Landers Fork and the West Fork Falls Creek. The map documents the high-elevation boundary between the Rocky Mountain and Lincoln Ranger Districts, a division that follows the rugged crests through Monitor Mountain and Bear Den Mountain. For those tracking trail evolution or wilderness management, the inclusion of the Continental Divide Scenic Trail offers a precise record of this high-country route as it existed at the start of the 21st century, alongside family-named watercourses such as Alice Creek and Fickler Creek.
