1968 Map of Silver King Mountain

About this map

Helena National Forest terrain dominates this late-1960s survey, showcasing a landscape defined by the drainage of Landers Fork and its numerous tributaries. High-elevation peaks like Silver King Mountain and the Alice Mountains overlook a complex network of pack trails and water bodies. The presence of the Silver King Ranch and the Indian Meadows Guard Station indicates the seasonal human activity typical of these mountain corridors, while the Elk Trail Landing Strip provides a point of backcountry aviation access. Genealogists and researchers may find interest in the specifically named waters such as Keep Cool Lakes, Krohn Lake, and Snowbank Lake. The map details a transition from high summits to the broader basin of Indian Meadows, providing an exact view of the forest infrastructure including a Lookout Tower and a Gravel Pit used for trail or road maintenance.
