About this map

Red Lodge serves as the gateway to the high-altitude plateaus of southern Montana in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the massive Silver Run Plateau and Hellroaring Plateau, where the drainages of Red Lodge Creek and Rock Creek have carved deep canyons. This era captures a transition toward recreational and scientific use of the Custer National Forest, evidenced by the presence of the Yellowstone-Bighorn Research Camp and various organizational retreats like Camp Rotary and Camp Senia. The settlement pattern at the edge of the mountains is thin but documented through rural landmarks such as Draper Sch and the Red Lodge Cemetery. High-elevation features like the Sundance Pass Trail and peaks such as Grizzly Peak and Mount Maurice dominate the western and central portions of the map, illustrating the high-relief terrain that separates the Beartooth foothills from the Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming.
