1965 Map of Lima Peaks

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Lima Peaks and the massive profile of Garfield Mountain dominate this mid-century survey of the high-altitude terrain in Beaverhead County. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the northern valley floor, where the Union Pacific railroad tracks parallel Junction Creek, to the steep, densely forested slopes of the Beaverhead National Forest. This region served as active rangeland and timber country, evidenced by the presence of the Deep Creek Cow Camp and several developed water sources like Dutch Hollow Spring and Sawmill Spring. A complex network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails provides the primary access to the remote drainages of Alder Creek and Crooked Run. The map meticulously records the numerous seasonal drainages, including Little Sheep Creek and Sawmill Creek, that carve through the peaks and feed the lower basins during the spring runoff.
