About this map

The Elkhorn Mountains dominate this 1980s topographical record, revealing a landscape defined by high summits and deep drainage basins within the Helena National Forest. The geography is centered on Casey Peak and the nearby Casey Meadows, providing a detailed view of the high-elevation terrain before modern digital mapping. A network of pack trails and unimproved roads, such as Maupin, connects isolated mountain features like High Peak and the numerous small parks including Airplane Park and Montgomery Park.

Tracing the headwaters of Mc Clellan Creek and Crystal Creek, the map reveals the area's light industrial history through several unnamed Prospect locations and a Shaft located west of the Elkhorn Mountains. This provisional edition captures the transition of the Jefferson and Broadwater county line through the high country, where the water-scarce ridges give way to a complex system of creeks like Spokane Creek and Beaver Creek.
