About this map

Old Town sits at the heart of this drainage-rich landscape, where Ninemile Creek and its many tributaries carve through the Montana terrain. The area is defined by an extensive history of resource extraction, with a high concentration of mining operations scattered throughout the hills. Hard rock and placer claims like the Frances Copper Mine, the War Eagle Mine, and the Liquidator Mine speak to the region's industrial past.

The geography is dominated by significant elevations such as Horsehead Peak and Lookout Mountain, connected by prominent landforms like One Two Ridge. Transportation through this steep country relies on a network of forest roads, including the Ninemile-Siegle Rd and W Side Ninemile Rd. The map provides a detailed view of the creeks that historically supported mining activity, from Martina Creek to the West Fork Burnt Fork Creek.
