1955 Map of Crown Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Gallatin National Forest and the northern reaches of Yellowstone National Park converge in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by ranching, early tourism, and conservation. Along the Gallatin River and the corridor of U.S. 191, a series of established waypoints like Porcupine Ranch, Rainbow Ranch, and the Almart Mtn Lodge highlight the area's role as a gateway for mountain recreation. Educational and administrative history is anchored by the Ophir Sch and the Gallatin Ranger Station. The map captures a high-elevation wilderness including Crown Butte and Lava Butte, where the Gallatin Game Preserve protects the headwaters of numerous drainages like Elkhorn Creek and Specimen Creek. Traditional mountain passes, such as Tom Miner Pass, connect these drainages, marking the historical routes through the Gallatin and Park County line before modern infrastructure dominated the interior.
