1986 Map of Lone Indian Peak

About this map

Gallatin State Wildlife Management Area and the high ridges of the Gallatin National Forest dominate this mid-1980s landscape in Montana. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising toward the summit of Lone Indian Peak and the high-altitude Golden Trout Lakes. A network of drainage systems, including Porcupine Creek and Elkhorn Creek, carves through the forest, while the Gallatin River runs along the western boundary. This survey documents a wilderness area largely shaped by conservation and resource management, where access is provided by a series of primitive Pack Trails. Local landmarks such as Lemondrop and Burnt Top stand as distinct topographical markers. The map captures the complex interaction of state and federal land management across Levinski Ridge, Elkhorn Ridge, and Blizzard Ridge.
