About this map

Butte sits at a high-altitude intersection of industry and natural geography, where the urban grid meets the Deerlodge National Forest. This modern survey documents the southern extent of the city, including neighborhoods like Williamsburg and Newcomb. The area is notably dense with commemorative and academic sites, including Montana Tech - College of Technology and a series of historic burial grounds such as Mount Moriah Cem, B'Nai Israel Cem, and Holy Cross Cem.

Elevations rise sharply toward the Continental Divide, which runs through the southwestern portion of the map. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages, including Sawmill Gulch, Smith Gulch, and China Gulch, contrasted by the technical infrastructure of the Bert Mooney Airport. The map also captures several high-elevation springs, such as 02N07W06BBE_01 Spring, providing a precise look at the hydrology of the Silver Bow Creek watershed.
