1995 Map of Steamboat Mountain

About this map

Steamboat Mountain rises as a central landmark within the Lewis and Clark National Forest, where the complex drainage systems of the Front Range converge. This 1995 revision, based on surveys dating back to 1969, details the intricate hydrography of the Dearborn River and its numerous tributaries, including Clemons Creek and the East Fork Dearborn River. The map reveals the managed interface between public and private lands, specifically the presence of Elk Creek Ranch tucked between Lone Chief Mountain and Horse Mountain. Significant vertical relief is evident in landmarks like Cataract Falls and the deep recession of Devils Glen. To the west, the Scapegoat Wilderness boundary is clearly delineated, crossing high basins like Cataract Basin and Bailey Basin, while the Cdnst provides a established route through the high country for those tracking historic trails.
