About this map

Bozeman Pass serves as a critical mountain gateway where the infrastructure of transportation meets a legacy of extraction. The passage is anchored by the Bozeman Tunnel and the small settlements of West End and Muir, which mark the high point of this corridor. The landscape south of the pass is heavily marked by early 21st-century mining data, showing an intensive cluster of operations including the Anaconda Copper Mines, Mountainside Mine, and Coulston Mine.

Genealogists will find significant local value in the several burial sites noted, such as Timberline Cemetery and Vaters Cemetery. The map also documents the industrial geography of the timber trade through the Radke Sawmill and Shadoan Sawmill. These features, along with names like Stinking Water Mine and Doyle Cabin, illustrate the transition from a wilderness frontier to a managed industrial landscape of the Rocky Mountain west.
