About this map

The Black Pine Mine and its associated Black Pine Tailings anchor this high-altitude landscape within the Deerlodge National Forest. This region of Granite County is defined by steep drainages and numerous prospect sites, reflecting a long history of mineral exploration around the slopes of Henderson Mountain and Sunrise Mountain. The survey captures the complex topography where the Second Standard Parallel North cuts across several major gulches and creeks.

Water flows from the heights through rugged corridors like Gaylord Gulch and Pickett Gulch, eventually feeding into Flint Creek and Henderson Creek. The map provides an detailed view of the extraction economy, showing scattered prospects and mining operations that have shaped the local terrain. Forest Service roads and trails provide the primary access to these remote reaches of the Montana wilderness.
