2011 Map of Davis Point

About this map

Waldbilling Mine and the Berry Rush Mine sit high above the drainage of Miller Creek, illustrating the deep-seated mineral extraction history of this part of Missoula County. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Davis Point and Baldy Mountain, which divide a complex network of watercourses including Spooner Creek and Holloman Creek. In the southern portion of the sheet, the focus shifts toward the Eightmile Creek corridor, where more extensive mining operations like the Eight Mile Creek Placer Mine and the White Cloud Mine are located. The presence of the Woodchuck Dam on Woodchuck Creek indicates localized water management for the region's industrial or agricultural needs. Roads with names like Quartz Ridge Rd and Sapphire Ridge Rd further reinforce the geological and prospecting character of the landscape.
