Mining and ranching define this high-altitude landscape within the Beaverhead National Forest as it was documented in the late 1990s. The map reveals an intensive history of extraction, with a dense cluster of claims including the Yellow Band Mine, Argenta Mine, and Carbonate Mine concentrated near the eastern drainages of Clarks Canyon. Further south, the Ermont Mine and its complex of workings like Ermont No 19 Mine dominate the area around Ermont Gulch, where a Mine Dump and various Prospects suggest decades of subsurface activity.
