1988 Map of Granite Mountain

About this map

Granite Mountain dominates this portion of the Beaverhead National Forest, where the high-altitude terrain gives way to the drainage of the Madison River. The landscape is defined by its water system and conservation use, including the Wall Creek Wildlife Management Area and the Principal Meridian boundary line. For those interested in early land use and resource extraction, the map records Prospects on the western slopes and family or descriptive landmarks like Gold Butte. This era of the late 1980s shows a wilderness accessed primarily by primitive routes, including several named Pack Trails and the Standard Road, illustrating the intersection of forestry management and natural resource exploration in the Madison Range.
