Beaverhead National Forest provides the backdrop for this study of mining and high-country ranching in southwestern Montana. The landscape is defined by the legacy of resource extraction, most notably near Chinatown where Dredge Tailings and numerous Prospects line the banks of Jeff Davis Creek. These remnants of placer and hard-rock exploration cluster around the base of Jeff Davis Peak, indicating a period of intense industrial activity that reshaped the local stream beds.
