About this map

Radersburg serves as the focal point of this mid-1980s topographical study, situated at the eastern edge of the mountainous terrain that characterizes the region. The landscape is defined by deep drainage systems including Keating Gulch, Uncle Johnnys Gulch, and Charity Gulch, which all flow toward the flatter basins to the east. Extensive mining activity is evident across the slopes, marked by numerous Mine Shaft and Mine Shafts symbols, particularly concentrated in the vicinity of the town and along the gulches, pointing to the area's enduring industrial heritage.

The western portion of the map transitions into the Helena National Forest, where the topography steepens significantly toward peaks like Lone Mountain. Water sources such as White Rock Spring and Piedmont Spring are tucked away in the higher elevations, feeding into systems like Sam Creek and Rattlesnake Creek. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of public forest lands and the private mining interests that shaped this part of Broadwater County.
