1970 Map of Scapegoat Mountain

About this map

Scapegoat Mountain and the high Continental Divide define this wilderness landscape within the Lewis and Clark National Forest and Lolo National Forest. The 1970 map highlights a vast network of pack trails, including the Cigarette Creek Trail (Pack) and the Tobacco Valley Trail (Pack), which provided essential access through the high passes and along the North Fork Blackfoot River. Remote outposts like the Green Fork Guard Sta and Carmichael Guard Sta indicate the administrative presence required to manage these forest lands and the Sun River Game Preserve. Notable landmarks such as Halfmoon Peak, Evans Peak, and the sheer Amphitheater provide orientation for travelers navigating between the Dearborn River and Dobrota Creek drainages. The mapping of Caves and various falls like Spring Falls suggests a complex geological environment relied upon by early forest rangers and backcountry travelers.
