1997 Map of Cherry Lake

About this map

The Lee Metcalf Wilderness defines this section of the Madison Range, where the high-altitude drainage of Cherry Creek provides the primary hydrological structure. This 1997 revision by the Forest Service illustrates a complex intersection of administrative boundaries, including the Gallatin National Forest and the Beaverhead National Forest. While largely comprised of steep slopes and peaks like Anceney and Red Knob, the map documents localized human presence at the Cherry Creek Ranger Station and the Jack Creek Ranch.
