2011 Map of Norris

About this map

The community of Norris and the nearby settlement of Red Bluff center this 2011 survey, where the rugged terrain is defined by a dense concentration of historical mining claims. The landscape is heavily marked by hard-rock mining history, particularly on the ridges east of the Norris Post Office, where clusters of operations like the Boaz Mine, Helene Mine, and Golconda Mine indicate a legacy of gold and mineral extraction. The network of water and leisure is equally prominent, with Hot Springs Creek flowing toward the Bear Trap Hot Springs and the Beartrap Hot Springs Campground. Southwest of the main settlement, large-scale ranching and further mining interests are mapped through the Jackson Ranch Mine and Montana Boy Mine. This 2011 edition provides a clear record of the intersection between historic mining districts and modern recreational and agricultural land use in Madison County.
