1950 Map of Spanish Peaks

About this map

Gallatin Peak anchors the high country of the Spanish Peaks in this mid-century survey of the high-altitude wilderness bridging Madison and Gallatin counties. The landscape is defined by its glacial lakes and sharp ridgelines, from the Jerome Rock Lakes to the clusters of the Spanish Lakes and Chilled Lakes. The presence of the Spanish Creek Ranger Station and the Andesite Lookout Tower underscores the importance of resource management and fire watch in the Gallatin National Forest at this time.
