1988 Map of Squaw Creek

About this map

The Madison River corridor and its western tributaries define this high-altitude landscape within the Beaverhead National Forest. This 1980s-era study captures the intersection of forestry operations and wilderness conservation, prominently featuring the Lee Metcalf Wilderness boundary. Local land use is characterized by a mix of recreation and administrative management, seen at the Lyon FS Station, Madison Campground, and the West Fork Campground. The terrain is deeply incised by the Squaw Creek system, including its North, Middle, and South forks, which feed into the main river channel. Evidence of high-country ranching and transit remains visible through features like the West Fork Cow Camp, while Standard Creek Road and Bogus Road provide the primary access through this remote portion of Madison County.
