1952 Map of Bannack

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Bannack stands as the focal point of this mid-century survey, documented here shortly after its designation as a Montana landmark. The map detail highlights the intense mining history that defined the area, showing a landscape carved by claims such as the Golden Leaf Mine, Hendricks Lode Mine, and the Hope Placer Mine. While most workings were inactive by the time of the 1952 field check, the New Departure Mine and Blue Dot Mine remain noted as active operations. The terrain is marked by evocative local nomenclature, from the steep ascent of Badger Pass to the foreboding Hangmans Gulch and Road Agents Rock, reflecting the area's transition from a bustling gold rush center to a preserved historical site. Water from Grasshopp Creek and Taylor Creek continues to dictate the local geography, winding through the Beaverhead National Forest boundary.
