1978 Map of Jackson Hill

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest defines the character of this 1970s landscape, where high-country peaks and working cattle camps meet. The high ground is dominated by Deer Peak and Woody Mountain, with the prominent Jackson Hill rising above the headwaters. Evidence of local mountain industry and ranching appears at the Carney Mine and Clemow Cow Camp, while a network of high-elevation trails, including the Old Tim Creek Trail, suggests a terrain shaped by movement through the Knight Gulch and across Star Park. The drainage pattern is complex, feeding the valleys via Warm Springs Creek and human-made improvements like the Upper Gloss Ditch. This geography reflects the late-century balance of public land management and small-scale resource extraction typical of the Beaverhead region.
