1963 Map of Homestake

About this map

The Continental Divide slices through the high timber of the Deerlodge National Forest, separating the urban expansion of Floral Park from the winding canyons to the east. This 1963 survey captures a transition in Montana transportation, showing Interstate 15 under construction or newly completed alongside older routes like the Chief Joseph Trail. The industrial legacy of the region is evident in the Tramway and numerous prospects that dot the slopes near Goldflint Mountain, while the rail corridor of the Northern Pacific and the Chicago Milwaukee ST Paul And Pacific remains a dominant feature of the landscape.
