1997 Map of Proposal Rock

About this map

The Beaverhead National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of several major drainages converge. In this 1997 revision of a earlier survey, the complex hydrology of the region is mapped in detail, featuring the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork as they carve through the mountain terrain. Notable landmarks like the namesake Proposal Rock stand out among the contours, while high-mountain waters such as Stone Lake and Lily Lake offer clear focal points for the landscape. The inclusion of the Pioneer Loop National Recreation Trail and boundaries for the Wisdom Ranger District reflects the land's transition into a managed wilderness and recreation area during the late twentieth century. This map traces the established trails and forest service access points that provided entry into the backcountry during this era.
