1921 Map of Drummond

About this map

The Garnet Range dominates this landscape, where early twentieth-century mining activity and ranching intersected along the high mountain corridors. High in the hills, the mining camps of Garnet and Coloma represent the era's mineral pursuits, while the surrounding valleys are marked by established homesteads like the Cottonwood Ranch, Griffith Ranch, and McCarthy Ranch. The transportation network is anchored by the Clark Fork and Blackfoot River, with the Northern Pacific and Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul railroads following the river grades through Drummond and Bearmouth. This survey preserves a dense record of rural social infrastructure, noting numerous educational landmarks such as the Ninemile Prairie School, Wales School, and Blackfoot Bridge School that served these isolated mountain and valley communities.
