1965 Map of Medicine Lodge Peak

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in the mid-1960s, where the drainages of the Medicine Lodge Creek valley meet the steep divides of the Tendoy Mountains. The map documents a rugged water-management system centered around the Keystone Reservoir Spillway, supported by a network of seasonal water sources including Lake Canyon Spring and Shooting Herders Spring. This area reflects a mid-century period of land use where resource extraction and livestock management were the primary activities within the national forest boundaries.
