1989 Map of Red Lodge

About this map

Red Lodge serves as the focal point of this late-century survey, situated where the high plateaus of the Beartooth Mountains meet the plains. The landscape is defined by massive alpine features like the Hellroaring Plateau, Silver Run Plateau, and Granite Peak, which contrast with the agricultural and mining activity in the valleys to the east. The economic history of the area is visible through industrial sites such as the Brophy Mine and Foster Mine near Bearcreek, and the legacy of the Burlington Northern railroad lines.
