About this map

The silver and lead mining operations of the Hog Heaven Range define the central landscape of this 1964 survey. In the hills above Sullivan Creek, several significant industrial sites are documented, including the Flathead Mine, West Flathead Mine, and the Mary Ann Mine. This concentrated mining activity, including the Battle Butte Mine and Martin Mine further south, represents a key period in the mineral development of Flathead County.

The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Flathead National Forest, where topography rises toward Kofford Ridge and Browns Meadow Pass. The southern boundary of the sheet follows the Flathead Indian Reservation Boundary, marking a transition from industrial and ranching lands like Wooster Ranch into tribal territory. A network of primitive drainage routes, such as Browns Meadow Creek and Little Meadow Creek, provides the primary water source for the remote holdings in this section of Northwest Montana.
