1951 Map of Hatfield Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Gallatin National Forest encompasses the high country of this 1951 survey, where the drainages of Sixteenmile Creek and Troy Creek carve through the northern Rockies. The landscape is defined by the massive profiles of Hatfield Mountain and Red Rock Mountain, separated by the steep descent of Miller Gulch. In this mid-century period, human presence is sparse and tactical, centered on the Troy Ranger Station and the isolated Miller Ranch. The map traces the rugged path of the Trail as it follows the South Fork Sixteenmile Creek and crosses the high divides of Elkhorn Ridge. This document records a time when land management in the Missouri River Basin focused on remote forest outposts and mountain hydrology, capturing local names like Beatskull Creek and Middle Fork Canyon before modern development reached these higher elevations.
