1988 Map of Willow Swamp

About this map

Spanish Peaks dominate this high-altitude landscape in the northern Rockies, where the Lee Metcalf Wilderness protects a network of glacial lakes and steep drainage basins. Surveyed in the late 1980s, the terrain is defined by its water system, ranging from the central Willow Swamp and Willow Swamp Creek to the cascading Pioneer Falls. The map reveals a land utilized for both conservation and early resource exploration, noted by a Prospect site and the Spanish Creek Recreation Site near the border of the Gallatin National Forest.
