About this map

Marysville and the surrounding gold-mining district north of Mullan Pass dominate this 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by its deep mining heritage, centered on Drumlummon Hill and the numerous drainages such as Woodchopper Gulch, Ottawa Gulch, and Rawhide Gulch that radiate from Mt Belmont. The continental divide follows the high ridges between Lewis and Clark and Powell Counties, crossing through the critical transportation corridor at the Mullan Tunnel.

South of the mining activity, the map reveals a transition into the more forested terrain of the Helena National Forest. Small settlements and rail points like Blossburg, Skyline, and Weed are scattered along the southern slopes near Austin Creek. Notable landmarks include the prominent Greenhorn Mountain and the high point at Bald Butte, while the drainage of Meadow Creek features a series of Beaver Ponds in its upper reaches.
