1958 Map of Gates Park

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The North Fork Sun River carves a deep valley through this backcountry corridor of the Lewis and Clark National Forest in the late 1950s. Far from any modern highway, the landscape is defined by an extensive network of foot and horse paths, including a primary Pack Trail that follows Lick Creek and Gates Creek through the mountains. This area serves as a vital administrative and survival hub within the Lewis and Clark Game Preserve, anchored by the Gates Park Guard Station and a nearby private landing strip used for mountain access. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of Wapiti Ridge and Goat Ridge down to open spaces like Ninemile Park and Biggs Flat, illustrating the remote management of Montana's wilderness before the onset of modern development.
