About this map

French Town stands as a focal point in this mountainous region southwest of Butte, where the landscape is defined by its legacy of resource extraction. Multiple mining operations are recorded here, including the Hungry Hill Mine and Patsy Ann Mine, situated along the drainages that flow from the high country of Dickie Peak and Johnson Peak. The topography is etched by a dense network of gulches and creeks, such as Minnesota Gulch and California Creek, which follow the steep contours of the Continental Divide area.

Transportation through the drainage basins is primarily facilitated by German Gulch Rd, connecting the various mining sites and settlements. High-altitude clearings like Selway Meadows provide contrast to the narrow creek beds of Moose Creek and Long Tom Creek. This survey captures the spatial relationship between the early 21st-century mining landscape and the natural water systems that carved the area's many gulches, from Julius Gulch to Coyote Gulch.
