1952 Map of Ermont

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest serves as the backdrop for a landscape defined by significant mineral extraction and ranching history. The rugged drainages of Rattlesnake Creek and French Creek are crowded with claims and workings, including the Yellow Band Mine, Stinson Mine, and Goldfinch Mine, all noted as active during the mid-century field checks. These industrial sites are supported by infrastructure such as the Ermont Diversion Dam and Ermont Mill, which served the mining operations at Ermont Gulch.
