About this map

Electric Peak dominates the southern skyline of this 1986 survey, marking the intersection of wilderness and industrial history along the Montana-Wyoming border. The landscape is defined by the Yellowstone River corridor, where a former Old Railroad Grade runs parallel to the water, passing near a Corwin Springs Substation.

Industrial activity is recorded through several remnants of earlier mining and processing, including a cluster of Coke Ovens and a Mine Shaft located near Cinnabar Mountain. The terrain transitions from the elevations of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness to the north into Yellowstone National Park at the southern boundary. Significant local landmarks like the Devils Slide and a secluded Cemetery near Aldridge Lake offer tangible points of interest for genealogists and researchers tracing the history of this borderland region.
