1987 Map of Mount Cowen

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Mount Cowen stands as the dominant summit in this high-altitude landscape within the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. The topography is defined by sharp peaks and a dense network of glacial lakes and drainage forks, including Pine Creek Lake, Jewel Lake, and Elbow Lake. Significant elevation changes are marked by features like Mount McKnight and Black Mountain, which overlook the headwaters of the Boulder River and West Boulder River. The 1980s data illustrates a protected backcountry environment within the Gallatin National Forest, characterized by steep drainages like Jungle Creek and Tumble Creek. The lack of road infrastructure emphasizes the region's character as a managed wilderness area, where landmarks such as Marten Peak and the high-elevation Beaver Meadows serve as primary points of orientation for navigation.
