About this map

Elk Park Pass serves as a critical geographic waypoint on this 2011 map of the Butte area, where the valley floor meets the heights of Rampart Mountain. The landscape is a transition between the industrial edge of the city and the high-elevation meadows of Elk Park. Small settlements like Trask and Woodville are situated along the valley floor, while infrastructure such as the Elk Park Fire Hall and the Monitor Tunnel highlight the utility and protection required for these mountain communities.

Water management is a central theme, shown through the Moulton Reservoir Number 2 Dam and smaller catchments like the Bison Retriever Dam and B and B Fish Pond Dam. Historical recreation and urban development are noted at Columbia Gardens, while the rugged eastern reaches are defined by Nez Perce Creek and Sawmill Gulch. This map records the modern road network, including Trask RD and West Elk Park RD, laid over a terrain deeply shaped by the region's mining and ranching heritage.
