2017 Map of Hoppers

About this map

Hoppers and the historic coal mining area of Cokedale are central features of this Montana landscape, situated at the edge of the Gallatin National Forest. The map documents a critical transportation corridor through the mountains, where Bozeman Hill Road and the railroad navigate the terrain near Tunnel Number 1. This 2017 survey details the complex topography of the region, where numerous drainages like Fleshman Creek, Billman Creek, and Miner Creek carve through the high country. For the local historian or genealogist, the presence of a Cemetery near Cokedale offers a point of interest regarding the community's early settlement. The map also traces modern developments alongside older landmarks, showing the proximity of the Antelope Flats and Bozeman Hill, illustrating how modern transit routes like Cokedale Road follow the natural contours of the mountain passes.
