1944 Map of Judith Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The gold and silver mining districts of the Judith Mountains are documented here during the early 1940s, centered on high summits like Judith Peak and Red Mtn. The landscape is a study in Montana's mineral rush history, featuring the Ruins of Fort Maginnis and its associated Fort Maginnis Cem alongside active and former mining camps. Significant workings such as the Spotted Horse Mine and Gilt Edge Mine are interspersed with several rural schools, including Pleasant Plains Sch and Cheadle Sch. To the south, the Great Northern Railroad Grade cuts a horizontal path across the plains near Alkali Creek, providing a stark contrast between the industrial mountain operations and the wide-open prairie. The map details a complex network of gulches and peaks, capturing the era when places like Maiden and Giltedge served as essential hubs for the region's extraction economy.
