About this map

Butte and the industrial suburbs of Williamsburg and Cobban anchor the northern landscape of this 1990s survey, illustrating the urban footprint of one of Montana's most significant mining hubs. The city's social history is deeply etched into the terrain through a concentrated cluster of memorial sites, including Mount Moriah Cemetery, B Nai Israel Cemetery, and St Patrick Cemetery. The presence of these diverse cemeteries alongside institutions like the Webster Garfield School and Longfellow School provides a clear view of the established residential neighborhoods that grew south toward Stodden Park.

South of the urban center, the landscape transitions into the steep terrain of the Deerlodge National Forest, where the industrial legacy remains visible through numerous prospects and mining features near Timber Butte. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the critical infrastructure of the Bert Mooney Airport, while the hydrology of the region is mapped through the drainage of Silver Bow Creek and Blacktail Creek.
