1962 Map of Middle Creek Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Middle Creek Lake sits at the center of this remote high-altitude landscape, where the Helena National Forest spans the border between Cascade, Lewis and Clark, and Meagher counties. The area is defined by the headwaters of the Middle Creek and Wickiup Creek systems, characterized by steep elevations rising toward the summit of Moors Mountain. This mid-century view documents a landscape primarily accessed via a network of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails, with a significant industrial footprint evidenced by the long Pipeline cutting across the mountain flanks. Local history is preserved in the names of primitive campsites and shelters, including Tyrell Camp, Wooden Shoe Camp, and the remote Hump Cabin near the southern boundary. These labels offer a detailed look at the seasonal human presence in these mountains before more modern recreational infrastructure was established.
