Meyers Creek Work Center, Listed!

Meyers Creek Work Center sits near the northern edge of the Beartooth plateau in a mining, grazing, and recreation area. The ranger district headquarters represent USDA Forest Service management policies and the aesthetics that guided the agency’s improvements program.

The Ranger Station was downgraded to a work center following district consolidation in the mid-1960s, a period that captures the Work Center’s greatest span of evolving use. The Meyers Creek Work Center continues to serve the Custer Gallatin National Forest in an important, mostly seasonal, administrative role with much of the property used for its primary historic function, the exception being the main residence, now used as a public cabin rental.

Meyers Creek Work Center

Custer-Gallatin National Forest’s Meyers Creek Work Center sits near the Beartooth plateau’s northern edge in a mining, grazing, and recreation area. The Forest Service built Meyers Creek in 1906 as a Ranger Station and made it a work center following district consolidation in the mid-1960s. Today, the property best reflects its historic and ongoing role as a work center. The main residence is available for public use through the recreation rental program.
