1943 Map of Mt Douglas

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Boulder Plateau dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the headwaters of the Boulder River and Stillwater River carve deep drainages through some of Montana's most challenging high-country terrain. Surveyed in the years leading into the early 1940s, the map reveals a remote region where human presence is defined by scattered outposts like Clydehurst Ranch and Hells Canyon Ranch rather than established towns. The area is a mosaic of public lands, divided between the Absaroka National Forest and Custer National Forest, with administrative control points such as the Fourmile Guard Station and Box Canyon Guard Station situated along the mountain flanks. High peaks including Snowy Peak, Chrome Mtn, and the namesake Mt Douglas punctuate the skyline. Notable for its colorful nomenclature, the map identifies landmarks like Froze-to-Death Creek and Breakneck Mtn, reflecting the harsh conditions encountered by early explorers and surveyors.
