1972 Map of Daisy Peak

About this map

The Lewis and Clark National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Judith River begin their descent. This 1970s survey highlights the rugged backcountry at the junction of Judith Basin and Meagher counties, centered on the prominent Daisy Peak and the pass at Daisy Notch. The area is characterized by a sophisticated network of historical movement, including the Smith Creek Pack Trail and Morris Creek Pack Trail, which were essential for managing these timbered slopes and alpine meadows. A significant point for local history is the Daisy Guard Sta (Site), appearing here as a former outpost of forest administration. The terrain is marked by distinctive geographical features like the Nevada Narrows and the Daisy Narrows, where watercourses like Daisy Dean Creek have cut through the limestone and shale formations of the Little Belt Mountains.
