2020 Map of Lake Cameron

About this map

The Madison Range dominates this landscape, where the high alpine terrain of the Gallatin National Forest meets the Beaverhead National Forest. At the center of this mountain environment lies Lake Cameron, surrounded by peaks including Black Mtn and the distinctively named The Helmet. The transition from high peaks to the valley floor is marked by the Cameron Bench, where the engineering of the regional ranching economy becomes visible. A network of man-made waterways, such as the Storey Ditch, Bear Cr Ditch, and Indian Cr Ditch, diverts water from natural streams like Bear Cr to support local agricultural operations. For those researching local heritage, the Bear Creek Cem serves as a small but significant landmark of early settlement near the base of the mountains.
