1962 Map of Wisdom

About this map

Wisdom serves as the focal point of this high-altitude valley, situated near the winding course of the Big Hole River. The map illustrates a rural landscape defined by extensive water systems, including Steel Creek, Stanley Creek, and Francis Creek, which feed into the main river channel. This 1962 field check captures the area’s ranching and resource-based character before significant modern development, showing the proximity of the Beaverhead National Forest to the east.
