1966 Map of Elk Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest covers this high-altitude landscape in southwest Montana, defined by a dense network of drainages and seasonal watercourses. The 1966 field survey documents a wilderness environment where human presence is largely limited to travel corridors and basic recreation. Joseph Creek and May Creek serve as the primary hydrologic arteries, carving deep through the terrain alongside Stevenson Canyon. Access to these remote reaches is indicated by several Pack Trails and Jeep Trails, showing the traditional routes used by forest rangers, hunters, and early outdoor enthusiasts. The established May Creek Campground provides a specific point of reference for researchers tracing the development of Forest Service recreation facilities in the post-war era. This topographical study captures the area's natural state before more modern forest management practices or expanded recreational infrastructure altered the primitive character of the Elk Creek and Tie Creek basins.
