About this map

Garnet and Beartown sit at the center of this mountain landscape, which straddles the borders of Missoula, Powell, and Granite counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mining-era landmarks and gulches, including First Chance Gulch and Secret Gulch. Road names like Dandy Mine Rd and Summit Cabin Rd point to the area's extraction history, while settlements such as Yreka and Reynolds City are spaced along the high ridges and valley floors.

Elevations reach their peak at Elevation Mountain in the northeast, overlooking a drainage system of creeks such as Deep Cr and Bear Cr. The map preserves the complex geography of local travel, from the Garnet Range Rd to specialized routes like Upper Packer Gulch Rd. This layout reveals how early 21st-century access routes still follow the contours of historic mining claims and mountain passes established over a century prior.
