1988 Map of Lincoln Mountain

About this map

Gallatin National Forest dominates this 1980s landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by a network of drainage basins and peaks. The map centers on the area around Lincoln Mountain, showcasing a environment where specialized infrastructure like the Wapiti FS Station and the Nine Quarter Circle Ranch represent the primary human footprints. Movement through the backcountry is indicated by a primitive Landing Strip and a series of pack trails that follow the winding paths of Taylor Creek and Wapiti Creek. High-elevation water bodies, including the descriptively named Lizard Lakes, Albino Lake, and Marble Lake, are scattered across the timbered slopes. The boundary between Madison and Gallatin counties cuts through the western portion of the quadrangle, marking a transition in this wilderness area managed for forestry and recreation during the late 20th century.
