1997 Map of Fan Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Fan Mountain dominates the eastern high country of this 1997 revision, casting its shadow over the Lee Metcalf Wilderness and the dense timber of Beaverhead National Forest. This Madison County landscape transitions from the high peaks down into the broad valley floors where Fan Alluvial Creek and Cedar Creek define the local hydrology. The human footprint is marked by long-standing operations like the H Lany B Ranch, Diamond J Ranch, and Cedar Creek Ranch, which emphasize the area's ranching heritage. Utility and recreation are mapped in detail, showing a Gaging Station and Aqueduct alongside the Jack Creek Recreation Site. These features reveal a managed wilderness where mountain water is carefully directed for agricultural use below. Geologic activity is noted at several Gravel Pits and a designated Mine, reflecting the mineral extraction common in the Montana backcountry.
