1944 Map of Cutoff Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Absaroka National Forest and the northern reaches of Yellowstone National Park dominate this 1942 survey, depicting a high-alpine landscape defined by the drainage divide between the Stillwater River and Slough Creek. The presence of the Independence Mine near Independence Peak highlights the era’s lingering mineral interests in the high Beartooth region, while the Northeast Entrance and the Cooke Ranger Sta mark the transition into the park. The map illustrates a complex network of glacial features, from high-elevation basins like Horseshoe Basin to numerous alpine lakes including Lake Kathleen, Abundance Lake, and the remote Pentad Lake. The administrative landscape is equally detailed, showing the Silver Tip Ranch and the Slough Creek Guard Sta as critical outposts in this wilderness where the boundary between Park and Sweet Grass counties was yet to be fully determined.
