1955 Map of Garnet Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Karst Ranch and its accompanying Karst Power Plant anchor this mid-century look at the Gallatin Canyon, where the Gallatin River carves through the heart of the Gallatin National Forest. The landscape is a mix of early recreation and mountain industry, evidenced by Cascade Creek Summer Homes and the Shady Rest Camp contrasted with the Blanchard Sawmill and the high-elevation Asbestos Mine. Resource management is visible through the presence of the Squaw Creek Ranger Sta and the remote Butte Meadows Ranger Sta, connected by a network of primitive routes like the Telephone Ridge Trail. Geographic landmarks such as Storm Castle and Garnet Mountain, the latter featuring a Lookout Tower, define the skyline above the complex drainage systems of Squaw Creek and Portal Creek.
