1970 Map of Indian Hill

About this map

Lewis and Clark National Forest encompasses this high mountain landscape, where the Judith River cuts through the eastern edge of the quadrangle. In the early 1970s, this area served as a hub for both forest management and recreation, anchored by the Judith Ranger Sta and seasonal sites like Indian Hill Campground and Dry Pole Campground. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Woodchopper Ridge and Ettien Ridge, which are traversed by a network of pack and jeep trails rather than paved roads. A series of deep drainages, including Yogo Creek and Dry Pole Canyon, illustrate the complex drainage patterns feeding the Judith Basin. The presence of a Gaging Sta and a Gravel Pit indicates a landscape that was actively monitored and utilized for local infrastructure, while the Yogo Crossing provides a specific point of historical access across the high-country creeks.
