About this map

Hauser Lake serves as the central focal point of this region, winding through a landscape defined by industrial history and small-scale lakeside development. The settlement of York sits near the eastern edge, supported by the York Vol Fire Dept and neighboring York Cemetery. This area reflects a long-standing relationship with the land, evidenced by several extractive sites including the Eldorado Strip Mine and the Golden Charm Mine further north near Nelson Rd.

Along the western banks, Lakeside and the Lakeside Resort indicate the transition toward recreation and residential use during this period. The map identifies numerous bars along the water's edge, such as Spokane Bar, Metropolitan Bar, and Eldorado Bar, which are characteristic of the river-turned-reservoir geography. To the southwest, the Helena Valley Reservoir and the Helena Valley Canal Tunnel mark the complex water management infrastructure essential to the surrounding valley.
