About this map

Pipestone Hot Springs and the surrounding high country of the Deerlodge National Forest define this landscape on the eastern slopes of the Continental Divide in the late 1990s. The map illustrates a complex water management and mining history, tracing the Paul-Mc Arthur Ditch No 1 and various pipelines across the terrain. Significant geological and industrial features include the unique Ringing Rocks formation and the Easter Lily Mine, alongside several gravel pits and unspecified mine sites. Remote homesteads and operational outposts like Gillette Ranch, Caldwell Ranch, and the Tippet Place are documented, while the State Highway Department Sandhouse at Pipestone provides evidence of the region's infrastructure maintenance. The drainage network is well-defined by Big Pipestone Creek and Whitetail Creek, showing the natural water flow that historically supported both ranching and mineral extraction.
