1962 Map of Foolhen Mountain

About this map

The Big Hole River cuts through the northwest corner of this terrain, marking the boundary where Deer Lodge Co Beaverhead Co meet. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation reaches of the Beaverhead National Forest, where resource extraction and forest management shaped the local economy. Evidence of industrial activity is centered around Calvert Hill, specifically the Calvert Mine and multiple prospects tucked along the ridges. Education and community life once centered on the Fishtrap Sch, located near the Fishtrap (Site) and the Fishtrap Campground. Higher in the mountains, the Foolhen Ranger Cabin served as a remote outpost below Foolhen Mountain. The map also details a network of high-country water sources, including Ferguson Lake, Johanna Lake, and Trident Meadows, connected by various pack trails and the Pioneer Loop Nat Rec Tr.
