1989 Map of Goldstone Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Continental Divide forms the high spine of this landscape, separating the headwaters of the Big Hole River from the drainages of the Salmon National Forest to the west. This high-altitude terrain in the late 1980s is defined by its mining heritage and water management, with numerous prospects and active sites like the Goldstone Mine situated near Goldstone Pass. The surveyor’s manuscript drawings reveal a complex network of alpine lakes, including Jahnke Lake, Darkhorse Lake, and Cowbone Lake, which feed into the Beaverhead National Forest. To the east, the meadowlands of Skinner Meadows and the winding course of Bloody Dick Creek provide a contrast to the steep slopes of the Beaverhead Mountains. This survey captures the region as it transitioned into more modern recreational use, evidenced by Roadside Park and the network of 4WD trails that replaced older mining access roads.
