2001 Map of Radersburg

About this map

Radersburg stands at the eastern edge of a landscape defined by an intensive mining history, where the rugged terrain transitions from the Limestone Hills into the timbered slopes of the Helena National Forest. This 2001 revision of the area reveals an incredible density of mineral extraction sites concentrated along the various gulches. The industrial footprint is particularly dense within Keating Gulch and Johnnys Gulch, where numerous Mine Shafts, Adits, and Open Pit Mines are recorded alongside established operations like the Ohio Mines and Black Friday Mines. To the west, the landscape is deeply etched by watercourses such as Slim Sam Creek and the South Fork, while scattered springs like Piedmont Spring provided vital water sources for early mining and ranching interests. This map serves as a detailed record of the mining claims and topographical developments that shaped Broadwater County long after the initial gold rush era.
