About this map

White Sulphur Springs serves as a central hub in this high-altitude landscape of central Montana, where mining and ranching interests converged during the late nineteenth century. The map illustrates a network of early settlements including Neihart, Copperopolis, and Leadboro, many of which were tied to the extraction of minerals and precious stones, such as the Sapphire Mine located near Sapphire Village in the Little Belt Mountains. The topography is dominated by prominent summits like Crazy Peak and Lebo Pk, creating a dramatic divide between the drainage basins of the Musselshell River and the Shields River. This 1890s survey documents the region's development before modern infrastructure, showing old postal routes connecting remote locations like Meyersburg and Martinsdale across rugged county lines.
