1950 Map of Clancy

About this map

Mining operations and rugged forest service infrastructure dominate this mid-century survey of the terrain south of Helena. Elkhorn stands out as a significant mountain settlement, surrounded by a dense concentration of mineral claims including the Louise Mine, Hagan Mine, and Montana Mine. The industrial footprint of the era is further evidenced by a Tramway and Tailings near Alhambra. To the north, Clancy serves as a local hub along the Northern Pacific railroad line, which follows the course of Prickly Pear Creek.
