2020 Map of Diamond City

About this map

Diamond City and the historic gold-mining district of Confederate Gulch define this mountainous landscape within the Helena National Forest. The map documents a rugged terrain carved by numerous drainages, including White Gulch, Miller Gulch, and Greenhorn Gulch, which were the sites of significant placer mining activity in the late 19th century. Near the center of the sheet, the Diamond City Cem serves as a silent reminder of the boomtown era that once thrived here. To the west, the Elk Meadows Ranch Airport provides modern access to these remote highlands. The drainage patterns of Spruce Cr, Hinaman Cr, and Clear Cr illustrate the complex watershed that flows from the Boulder Lakes area, tracing a path through the steep gulches that once drew thousands of prospectors to this corner of Broadwater County.
