1995 Map of Monument Peak

About this map

Monument Peak Lookout stands as the literal and figurative high point of this high-altitude landscape within the Lewis and Clark National Forest. Revised in the mid-1990s, the map reveals a wilderness dominated by steep drainage systems like Tenderfoot Creek and Eagle Creek, where the terrain transitions sharply between named heights such as Mount Vesuvius and Woods Mountain. For the researcher, the map documents small-scale industrial history through several labeled prospects and a single prospect site located near the headwaters of Taylor Creek and Reynolds Creek. These markers, along with the notable Rimrock Ridge, indicate a terrain shaped by both geological survey interest and remote forest management. The presence of developed landmarks like Reynolds Park and Daisy Spring suggests established points of interest for those navigating this portion of Meagher County's mountain country.
