About this map

Grasshopper Creek winds through the high basin of Grasshopper Valley, a landscape defined by its mining legacy and ranching history. The southeastern portion of the map highlights the area's industrial past with the Placer Mines and the Bannack State Park Mine, while the Hendricks/Apex Mill Site stands as a marker of local mineral processing. These sites are clustered near the historic Bannack Cemetery, providing a concentrated view of early Montana settlement and industry.

Agricultural and residential life is anchored by family-named landmarks like the Old Knoll Homestead and Christensen Ranch. The terrain is drained by several seasonal and permanent waterways, including Buffalo Creek, Reservoir Creek, and Sagebrush Creek. The road network, featuring Bannack Bench Rd and Reservoir Creek Rd, follows the natural contours of the valley floor and connects the outlying ranches to the primary landmarks near the creek beds.
