About this map

Manger and Buckingham serve as central points in this landscape defined by high-country ranching and mining. Located within the Helena National Forest, the region shows a dense concentration of mineral activity, including the Porcupine Mine, Bigler Mine, and Snowbank Mine situated near the southwest corner of the sheet. Further north, the Lane Mine and SE NW Section 24 Mine indicate the spread of prospecting throughout the hills.

Water sources are vital here, with Camas Creek and Rock Springs Creek draining the terrain near Camas Ridge. Notable local landmarks like the Upper Birch Creek Bar and the namesake Gipsy Lake provide specific geographic anchors for researchers. The road network, including Camas Creek Rd and Duck Creek Rd, follows the natural contours of the drainages, illustrating how transportation was tied to the local topography and resource extraction sites.
