1952 Map of Twin Adams Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest defines this landscape of high-altitude mining and rugged gulches during the mid-twentieth century. The map reveals an intensive history of resource extraction, particularly around the Greenstone Mine and the Indian Queen Mine, where numerous Mine Shafts and Mine Tunnels dot the slopes of Limestone Mountain. Near the confluence of Thief Creek and Birch Creek, the Birch Creek Ranger Station and an inactive CCC Camp indicate the era's transition from federal labor programs to established wilderness management. Water management is prominent in the lower elevations, where the Beaverhead Water Co Ditch cuts across the terrain south of Canyon Gulch. High-country landmarks like Thunderhead Mountain and Twin Adams Mountain overlook a network of seasonal camps, such as Cow Camp along the North Fork Willow Creek, reflecting the area's dual use for mining and livestock grazing.
