About this map

Marcum Mountain and Trapper Mountain dominate this western Montana landscape, a region defined by a long history of mineral extraction and cattle ranching. The Blackfoot River carves through the center of the sheet, supported by a network of water management features including the North Helmville Canal and the Copenhagen Dam on Arrastra Creek. The settlement of Coughlin sits as a central point for local activity, while the presence of Steeles Dude Ranch near the northern boundary points to the area's transition into recreational and seasonal land use.

Mining remains a visible legacy across these hills, with several named operations scattered throughout. Genealogists and historians can locate the Nevada Mine, Republican Mine, and the French Town Mine in the western reaches, while the Hungry Hill Mine is situated further east. Along the southern edge, the meandering courses of Nevada Creek and Wasson Creek define the drainage patterns of the valley floor below the high ridges.
