1952 Map of Bannack

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Bannack (First Territorial Capital) remains the focal point of this 1952 topographic study, showing the town at the intersection of Grasshopper Creek and Hangmans Gulch. While most workings are noted as inactive by this era, the landscape is heavily marked by its placer and lode mining heritage, featuring names like the Hope Placer Mine and Hendricks Lode Mine. Notable exceptions to the dormancy include the New Departure Mine and Blue Dot Mine, both indicated as active operations east of Road Agents Rock. To the north, the Bannack Road winds through Badger Pass within the Beaverhead National Forest, following the high-elevation terrain where the Taylor Mine sits near the headwaters of Taylor Creek. The presence of the local Cemetery and multiple springs like McDowell Spring provides essential details for genealogists tracing early Montana mining families.
