1996 Map of Orofino Mountain

About this map

Orofino Mountain and Cottonwood Mountain dominate this corner of the Deerlodge National Forest, where the landscape is etched by a series of gulches and complex mining activity. The topographic record shows a high concentration of mineral exploration along the slopes, with numerous prospects, adits, and the Butte Pacific Mine marking the terrain. These features, combined with local landmarks like Deerlodge Butte, reflect the intensive prospecting history of the boundary between Deer Lodge and Silver Bow counties.
