1988 Map of Sphinx Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The high peaks of Madison County dominate this late-twentieth-century study of the Montana backcountry. Characterized by the convergence of the Gallatin National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest, the landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of Sphinx Mountain and the distinctive formation known as The Helmet. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by utilitarian outposts such as Manley Camp and the Yellow Mule Ranger Cabin, suggesting a region managed for timber, grazing, or seasonal wilderness access rather than permanent settlement.
