1968 Map of Stonewall Mountain

About this map

Stonewall Mountain and Red Mountain anchor this high-elevation terrain in the late 1960s, a landscape defined by the drainage basins of the Helena National Forest. The map documents a rugged interior accessible primarily by a network of specialized routes, including the Main Line Trail (Pack) and various unnamed Pack Trails. Mining history is visible through features like the Cotter Mine and Copper Camp, alongside several unnamed Mines located near the headwaters of Stonewall Creek and Copper Creek. This survey reflects the region's enduring character as a resource-rich mountain wilderness where transportation relied on primitive tracks and pack routes rather than developed roads. The hydrology is intricate, with numerous streams such as Theodore Creek, Ringeye Creek, and Sucker Creek flowing from the steep slopes to feed the larger Beaver Creek system.
