1951 Map of Bozeman Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Northern Pacific rail lines and the winding Bridger Canyon Road define the transit corridors of the Gallatin Valley and the surrounding peaks in the early 1950s. This survey records a landscape transitioning from an industrial mining past toward educational and recreational uses. To the east of the Radio Station (KXLQ) Tower, researchers can locate several rural educational sites, including Mt Ellis Academy, Lower Bridger School, and La Motte School. The industrial history of the pass is particularly visible near the Bozeman Pass Beacon, where numerous coal and copper operations once worked the slopes. Labels such as the Coke Ovens (Ruins), Mountainside Mine, and Anaconda Copper Mines indicate a legacy of heavy extraction, while the Bozeman Ski Lodge and Federal Fish Hatchery point toward the area's emerging twentieth-century character.
