1966 Map of Elk Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest land defines this portion of the Montana high country, where a network of watercourses and trails marks the landscape during the mid-1960s. The convergence of Elk Creek and Joseph Creek creates a primary drainage system through the central terrain, supported by numerous smaller tributaries like Cabinet Creek and Shoofly Cr. This area served as a vital recreational and transit corridor, evidenced by the May Creek Campground situated along the waters of May Creek. Navigation through the dense timber and varying elevations relied on established routes such as the Sunshine Trail and several unnamed Pack Trails and Jeep Trails. The map illustrates the headwaters of several drainages, including South Fork Tie Creek and Boulder Creek, which flow toward neighboring basins, reflecting the complex topography of Beaverhead County.
