1972 Map of Fourmile Spring

About this map

Lake Sutherlin and its northern spillway dominate the northern landscape of this Meagher County terrain, where the high country meets the timbered slopes of the Lewis and Clark National Forest. The map documents a land shaped by water and elevation, from the drainage of South Fork Eightmile Creek to the various named water sources like Fourmile Spring and Bair Spring. The high-altitude character is underscored by the presence of Richardson Campground and Grasshopper Campground, situated near the rugged paths of a Pack Trail winding through the forest. Small-scale resource extraction is noted by several prospects and a Gravel Pit in the northeast, while livestock management is evidenced by a lonely Corral and Well amidst the drainages of Fivemile Creek.
