1996 Map of Butte North

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Berkeley Pit and its adjacent mining operations dominate the southeastern landscape of this Montana quadrangle, where the industrial legacy of the Copper King era is etched into the earth. The dense grid of Butte gives way to specialized worker communities like Walkerville and Centerville, situated among a high concentration of named shafts such as the Granite Mountain Mine and Lexington Mine. This proximity between residential areas and massive extractive operations highlights the unique urban-industrial character of the Summit Valley district. North of the city, the terrain transitions into the Deerlodge National Forest, where the Continental Divide winds along the high ridges. These mountains are drained by numerous gulches, including Columbia Gulch and Harrison Creek, which flow toward the developing valley floor. Cultural and educational landmarks like Montana Tech of the University of Montana and the Museum anchor the western edge of the city, reflecting the community's evolution into a regional center for technology and history.
