About this map

The Ruins of Fort Maginnis stand as a central landmark in this 1941 topographic survey, marking a site of significant military and frontier history. Nearby, the Fort Maginnis Cem and Fort Maginnis Sch suggest the enduring legacy of the settlement that once thrived here. The landscape is dominated by the high elevations of the M O U N T A I N S, including Judith Peak, Maginnis Mtn, and Lookout Peak.

Hard rock mining activity, though largely quiet by the time of this survey, is evidenced by numerous inactive sites such as the Spotted Horse Mine, Giltedge Mine, and Cumberland Mine. These operations were concentrated around Gold Hill and Maiden Peak. Transportation patterns are highlighted by the Great Northern Railroad Grade crossing the southern portion of the quadrangle near Alkali Creek, while the drainages of Fords Creek and Chippewa Creek define the eastern plains.
