2017 Map of Ramsay

About this map

Ramsay and the small settlements of Silver Bow and Nissler occupy the southern portion of this landscape, situated along the vital corridor where Silver Bow Cr flows. This 2017 survey details a transition from the industrialized transportation routes near the Silver Bow Creek Bridge to the steep, wooded terrain of the Deerlodge National Forest in the north. The map preserves a dense network of gulches and ridges named for early prospecting and ranching efforts, including Telegraph Gulch, Meadow Gulch, and McCleery Gulch. These features reflect the historic land use patterns of Silver Bow County, where resource extraction and transit were paramount. High-elevation landmarks like Chinaman's Spring and trails such as the Pony Express Trl provide specific points of interest for local history researchers tracing the development of this Montana mountain region.
