1988 Map of Cattle Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The high elevations of the Beaverhead National Forest define this 1988 landscape, where mining history and rugged terrain intersect. Settlement centers on the small localities of Vipond and Glendale, with the latter featuring a local Cem and historical infrastructure including Kilns. The map provides a detailed view of the extraction economy that once drove this region, showing landmarks like the North Central Mine, West Limb Mine, and the La Marche Adit. The topography is marked by a complex drainage system flowing toward the Big Hole River along the eastern edge, with prominent features like Cattle Ridge and Nez Perce Ridge separating deep canyons and gulches. Remote water sources are well-documented, including Cattle Gulch Lake and several springs such as Upper Cattle Gulch Spring and Trusty Gulch Spring No 2, suggesting the historical importance of water management for both mining operations and high-country grazing.
