1997 Map of Stonehouse Mountain

About this map

The high ridges of the Snowcrest Range define this portion of the Beaverhead National Forest, where the complex drainage systems of the Ruby River and its numerous forks meet the Centennial Divide. This landscape, documented in the late 1990s, reveals a high-altitude wilderness oriented around peaks like Stonehouse Mountain and Mount Carey. A single outpost of early forest management, the Divide Creek Guard Station, sits along the creek that separates the northern and southern watersheds. Movement through this difficult terrain is marked by the Gilbert Trail and the Eureka Basin Road, tracing routes that have long served as the primary access for remote ranching and forest operations. The map also delineates the boundary of Madison Co Beaverhead Co, showing how political lines follow the natural height of land across meadows such as Honeymoon Park.
