1968 Map of Granite Butte

About this map

Granite Butte stands as a prominent landmark along the crest of the Continental Divide, where the waters split toward the Pacific and the Atlantic. This high-altitude landscape within the Helena National Forest is defined by its deep mining heritage, evidenced by the Poorman Mines and numerous unnamed prospects scattered across the gulches. The terrain is a network of drainage systems, with Gould Creek and Bear Creek carving into the northern slopes while Little Prickly Pear Creek winds through the central valley.
