About this map

Red Pryor Mountain and its surrounding drainages define this high-elevation landscape in south-central Montana, where industrial activity and ranching roots meet. The terrain is marked by a significant concentration of mineral extraction sites concentrated along central ridges, including the Old Glory Mine, Sandra Mine, and the Lisbon Mine. These operations, alongside others like the Marie Mine and The Dandy Mine, indicate a history of local resource development within this portion of the Pryor Mountains.

Evidence of human habitation and transit is centered around the Tillett Ranch and various named landmarks such as Demijohn Flat and Teepee Rings. Hydrological features like Gypsum Creek and Crooked Creek carve through the geography, creating prominent formations like Lost Water Canyon and Burnt Timber Canyon. This 2011 survey documents a remote mountain landscape where established roads like Helt RD and GYP Springs RD provide access to high-country peaks such as Penney Peak.
