1996 Map of Whitetail Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Deerlodge National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which is characterized by high peaks and an intricate network of drainage creeks in Jefferson County. The central feature is the Upper Whitetail Reservoir, a significant water body created by a dam and Spillway that feeds into Whitetail Creek. This area serves as a rugged intersection of wilderness and early industrial exploration, evidenced by numerous prospects and specialized mining sites like Prospect X scattered throughout the high elevations. Local ranching history is anchored by the Stockmens Association Cabin, located east of the reservoir near the Guide Meridian. From the alpine heights of Whitetail Peak to the riparian flats of Bakers Meadows, the map reveals a terrain where water management and mineral search defined the human presence within the national forest.
