1997 Map of Warm Springs Creek

About this map

The Beaverhead National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape in Madison County, Montana, during the late 20th century. Rugged ridgelines from the Greenhorn Range and the Gravelly Range overlook a network of seasonal camps and ranching infrastructure, including the Warm Springs Cow Camp and the Vigilante Guard Sta. The drainage of the Ruby River and Warm Springs Creek anchors the southern half of the map, where the Hudson Ranch and Tate Reservoir are situated. Numerous springs such as Schoolmarm Spring and Pole Patch Spring dot the gulches, indicating the vital water sources for local livestock operations. A single notation of Prospects in the northeast suggests small-scale exploration in the high country, while terrain features like Sheep Mountain and Fine Ridge emphasize the topographical complexity of this forest service region.
