1996 Map of Granite Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

Granite Peak anchors this high-elevation survey of the Montana wilderness, marking a convergence of major natural boundaries. The map documents a landscape defined by glacial features and remote water bodies, including the Granite Glacier and the formidable Froze to Death Mountain. It captures the intersection of the Custer National Forest and Gallatin National Forest, entirely contained within the protected Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. Human influence is sparse and concentrated at the Montana Power Dam on the eastern shore of Mystic Lake. This reservoir, fed by West Rosebud Creek, represents one of the few structural landmarks in a terrain otherwise characterized by a dense network of alpine basins like Avalanche Lake and Island Lake, and the headwaters of the Stillwater River.
