The settlement of Argenta serves as the focal point for this study of southwestern Montana mining history, situated along the banks of Rattlesnake Creek. The landscape is densely packed with inactive mining operations that defined the local economy during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Notable extraction sites include the Anaconda Mine, Ferdinand Mine, and the Rosemont Mine, while the Site of Saltman Smelter points to the industrial processing that once occurred here. Beyond the town, the Argenta Cem and the Argenta Road provide clear markers for genealogists tracing pioneer families of Beaverhead County.
