1996 Map of Pipestone Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Pipestone Pass serves as a critical geographic marker where the Continental Divide winds through the high country of the Deerlodge National Forest. This 1990s-era topographic study, based on updated 1960s photogrammetry, reveals a landscape defined by industrial extraction and high-altitude recreation. The presence of several prospect sites and a mine near Toll Canyon indicates the area's geological value, while ski lifts on Toll Mountain point toward the region's development for tourism. To the north, the protected lands of Thompson Park and the winding path of Roosevelt Drive contrast with the steeper terrain of the Highland Mountains in the southwest, where Red Mountain and the Highland Lookout dominate the skyline. The intricate drainage network of Little Pipestone Creek and Mammoth Creek underscores the complex hydrology of this watershed boundary.
