1995 Map of Manger Park

About this map

The Castle Mountains dominate this central Montana landscape, where high-altitude parks and creek drainages define the geography of Meagher County. Revised in the mid-1990s, the map illustrates the complex boundary between public and private lands, specifically the irregular eastern edge of the Lewis and Clark National Forest. Water sources are vital features here, from the established Miller Spring to the headwaters of the South Fork Smith River. High peaks such as Wapiti Peak and Beartrap Peak mark the skyline, while the eponymous Manger Park provides a level break in the high-elevation terrain. This survey is particularly useful for identifying the transition from open grazing lands to the forested interior of the Kings Hill Musselshell District, showing the network of forest roads and trails used by local ranching and recreation interests.
