1996 Map of Mount Humbug

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

The Continental Divide serpentines through this 1996 survey, defining the high-altitude landscape where Silver Bow and Madison counties meet. This area, managed largely within the Deerlodge National Forest, is dominated by the prominent peak of Mount Humbug and the surrounding drainage networks of Basin Creek and Moose Creek. The map documents a rugged history of resource extraction, illustrated by the numerous Prospect and Mine Shaft symbols clustered near the small settlement of Moose Town. Water management is central to the area's geography, with the Basin Creek Reservoir and Upper Reservoir capturing runoff from the surrounding gulches. These reservoirs and the varied terrain of Maloney Park and Gold Hill are accessible via several forest routes, including the Highland Road and Burton Park Road.
