1971 Map of Charcoal Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Lewis and Clark National Forest dominates this landscape in Meagher County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks feeding into Newlan Creek. Early 1970s land use is evident through the presence of the Newlan Creek Guard Station and a Gaging Sta, alongside several unnamed Mine and Prospects sites. These smaller excavations, such as those near Pistol Creek and Bills Gulch, point to a history of resource exploration within the timbered terrain. The southern portion of the map transitions toward more open drainages like Reese Creek and Trout Creek, while high points such as Smoky Mtn and Butler Hill offer significant relief. For the researcher, the map preserves the exact locations of numerous water sources, including Charcoal Spring and Crater Lake, which were vital for both forest management and local ranching interests during this era.
