1963 Map of Homestake

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Deerlodge National Forest dominates the high-altitude terrain along the Continental Divide, where the landscape transitions from the urban outskirts of Butte into steep, timbered canyons. The residential growth of Floral Park and landmarks like the Butte Country Club sit just east of the Bert Mooney-Silver Bow County Airport, marking the city's mid-century expansion. The mountain passes are defined by critical transport infrastructure, including the Burlington Northern railroad and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific line, which navigate the difficult topography near Homestake and Highview. Local history is preserved in the location of the Whittier Sch, the Hawthorne Sch, and the Holy Cross Cem, while the industrial character of the region is evident in the scattered Sandpit and Prospects found throughout Reese Canyon and Lucky Strike Gulch.
