1951 Map of Hoppers

About this map

Industrial remains of the coal mining era define the southern reaches of this landscape near the Gallatin National Forest boundary. Significant infrastructure associated with the extraction industry is documented here, including the Cokedale Mines No 1, Cokedale Mines No 2, and nearby Coke Ovens, all marked as abandoned by the mid-twentieth century. The Cokedale School and various ruins indicate the presence of a once-active community supported by these operations. The Northern Pacific railroad corridor runs through the center of the sheet, connecting the settlement of Hoppers to the broader regional network. To the north, the terrain is shaped by numerous waterways such as Fleshman Creek, Perkins Creek, and Billman Creek, which carve through the foothills and provide a stark contrast to the heavy industrial activity found along the southern valleys.
