About this map

Butte sits at the northern edge of this 1970s landscape, where industrial activity and complex geography meet along the Continental Divide. The map illustrates a region defined by its rich mineral heritage, with numerous active and historical operations such as the Watseca Mine, Hecla Mines, and Silver Star Mine dotting the mountainous terrain. These sites are connected by the Burlington Northern railroad, which follows the natural corridors carved by the Big Hole River and Jefferson River.
