1942 Map of Cutoff Mtn

About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates the high-altitude landscape of this 1942 survey, where mountain peaks and alpine lakes define the transition between Montana and Wyoming. The northern portion of Yellowstone National Park is visible at the map's southern edge, marked by the Northeast Entrance and the Cooke Ranger Sta. High-altitude operations are evidenced by the Independence Mine near Independence Peak, while the remote character of the region is reflected in isolated outposts like the Silver Tip Ranch and the Slough Creek Guard Sta. A complex network of drainage systems, including the headwaters of Slough Creek, Cutoff Creek, and the Middle Fork Stillwater River, flows through basins below massifs such as Cutoff Mtn and Mt Abundance.
