1985 Map of Jefferson City

About this map

Jefferson City and the small settlement of Corbin are situated in a landscape defined by its mining heritage and rugged terrain within the Helena National Forest. By the mid-1980s, the industrial footprint of the region is evidenced by numerous Mine Shafts and prospects dotting the slopes of peaks like Valparaiso Mountain and Gregory Mountain. An Abandoned R. R. follows the path of Prickly Pear Creek, tracing the former transportation corridor that once served the local extraction economy. The map reveals a complex network of 4WD trails and gulches, including Clancy Creek and Lump Gulch, which carved through the high country. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of the Cem near Jefferson City and distinctive landmarks like Mc Cauley Flats and Windy Butte provides a precise look at the area's rural character during the late 20th century.
