2020 Map of Bannack

About this map

Bannack remains the focal point of this southwestern Montana landscape, situated at the intersection of Bannack Rd and Hendricks Mill Rd. The terrain is defined by its gold-mining legacy and frontier history, evident in evocative landmarks like Road Agents Rock and the sobering Hangmans Gulch. These features speak to the era of lawlessness and vigilante justice that once dominated the gulches along Grasshopper Creek. To the north, the high ground of Badger Ridge and Badger Pass provides a transition into the protected lands of the Beaverhead National Forest. This modern survey tracks the enduring network of trails and creek-side routes, such as Cold Spring Creek Rd and Taylor Ck Rd, which continue to navigate the complex system of drainages including Madigan Gulch and Cold Spring Creek.
