About this map

Kings Hill Pass serves as the central high-altitude hub of this landscape within the Lewis and Clark National Forest. Revised in the mid-1990s, the map documents a transition towards mountain recreation, anchored by the Show Down Winter Sports Area and the Snowmobile Parking Lot. The survey highlights a complex network of seasonal paths, including the Snowmobile Trail and Cross Country Ski Trail, which weave through the high ridges near Porphyry Peak Lookout.

Lower elevations are defined by the headwaters of numerous waterways, such as Belt Creek and Sheep Creek, which drain the area surrounding the small settlement of Forest Green. The map also captures several Quarry sites and established mountain routes like Kings Hill Rd and Judith Basin Rd, providing a clear look at the intersection of forest management, regional travel, and high-country sport during this era.
