About this map

Black Mountain and Colorado Mountain dominate the skyline of this Lewis and Clark County region as it appeared in 2011. The landscape is etched with the history of extraction, visible through numerous labeled claims such as the Stemwinder Mine, Silver Coin Mine, and Grunenfelder Mine. Waterways like Tenmile Creek and Blue Cloud Creek snake through the terrain, cutting deep through valleys like Colorado Gulch and Nelson Gulch.

Essential infrastructure serves the residents and visitors of this mountainous area, notably the Baxendale Rural Fire Dist and the Tenmile Campground. Access is provided by several named routes, including Priest Pass Rd and Rimini Rd, while the Ten Mile Airport and Duncan Airport offer specialized transit points. The high concentration of specific mining sites suggests a rich industrial heritage that continues to define the geography of this Montana backcountry.
