1962 Map of Dillon
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The Continental Divide zigzags through this high-altitude landscape, defining the watershed of southwest Montana during the early 1960s. Central to the region is the town of Dillon, serving as a hub for the ranching and mining country along the Beaverhead River. To the north, the industrial city of Butte sits near the headwaters of the Jefferson River, while smaller valley settlements like Melrose, Sheridan, and Twin Bridges highlight the dispersed agricultural and mining communities of the era. The transportation network is anchored by the Northern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads, which follow the river courses to connect isolated mountain passes.
