1954 Map of Elk Park

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Continental Divide crests through this mountain landscape, marking the boundary between Jefferson Co and Silver Bow Co during the mid-1950s. The region is defined by a deep history of resource extraction, illustrated by the presence of the Ruby Mine, La Belle, and Busch mines, alongside the Monitor Tunnel. A significant industrial corridor follows the Great Northern Bison railroad line, which skirts the open flats of Elk Park and passes through the settlement of Woodville. This map captures a landscape transitioning from heavy mining toward recreational use, featuring the Boy Scout Camp and the expansive Columbia Gardens near the edge of East Butte. Higher elevations are punctuated by family-named landmarks and remote outposts like the Stockmens Assoc Cabin near Whitetail Creek.
