1996 Map of Red Lodge East

About this map

The coal-mining heritage of Carbon County is etched into the landscape between Red Lodge and Bearcreek. In this mid-1990s environment, the terrain is defined by the transition from the West Bench and East Bench plateaus into the deeply carved coulees of the eastern foothills. Industrial history is pervasive, with extensive mine dumps and specific sites like the Smith Mine, Brophy Mine, and Foster Mine marking the hillsides. These mines were central to the local economy and the development of surrounding worker settlements such as Washoe.
