USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
Mining operations and timber management define this mid-century landscape where the Deerlodge National Forest and Helena National Forest meet. The settlement of Basin serves as a focal point along the Boulder River, situated on the Great Northern rail line. The map reveals an intensive history of extraction, with numerous named claims such as the Bullion Mine, Lily Orphan Boy Mine, and the Paupers Dream Mine dotting the high-altitude terrain between Jericho Mountain and Jack Mountain.
