1962 Map of Johnson Mountain

About this map

Johnson Mountain and the surrounding Lewis and Clark County terrain dominate this 1962 field-checked survey, revealing a landscape defined by ranching and water management. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible at the Gravel Pit and along the Gillette Ditch, which cuts across the drainage of Middle Fork Gillette Creek. The presence of the Steinbach Ranch and the Rogers Pass Section House points to the area's history of high-country settlement and transportation maintenance near the continental divide. Waterways like the Dearborn River, Big Skunk Creek, and Cuniff Creek carve through the foothills, while landmarks such as Sunset Hill and Sunrise Hill provide clear orientation for those tracing historic property boundaries or topographic changes in the mid-20th century.
