1987 Map of Monitor Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Monitor Peak dominates this high-elevation landscape in Park County, Montana, where the terrain is defined by the intersections of the Gallatin National Forest and the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. The map reveals a complex drainage system feeding into the Yellowstone River valley, primarily through Sixmile Creek and Emigrant Creek. The presence of Placer Basin Creek and names like Huckleberry Gulch suggest a history of resource extraction and seasonal foraging in these steep mountains. Movement through this backcountry is largely restricted to a primitive Pack Trail, emphasizing the area's isolation even into the late 1980s. Notable landmarks like Fish Lake and Sliding Mountain provide fixed points for navigating the deep drainages of Cedar Creek and the North Fork Bear Creek.
