1987 Map of Bozeman Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Bozeman Pass serves as the critical transit point through the northern mountains in this 1980s survey, where the Burlington Northern railroad utilizes the Bozeman Tunnel to navigate the divide between the Bridger Range and the surrounding high country. The landscape is defined by its industrial legacy, specifically the numerous mining operations dotting the slopes of the Gallatin National Forest. Distinct excavations such as the Mountainside Mine, Coulston Mine, and the Anaconda Copper Mines illustrate a region heavily shaped by extraction. Small settlements and points of interest like Timberline, Muir, and the Malmborg Sch provide evidence of the localized communities that supported these mountain industries. The drainage patterns of Jackson Creek and Billman Creek highlight the complex topography that historically challenged engineers and prospectors alike.
