1996 Map of Spink Point

About this map

Brewster Mine and Edelman Mine mark the northern reaches of this high-elevation Montana landscape, where mining operations were concentrated along the drainages of North Fork Brewster Creek. The terrain is defined by the intersection of the Lolo National Forest and the Deerlodge National Forest, a region characterized by significant mineral exploration as evidenced by numerous adits and prospects scattered across the slopes. To the south, the Sandstone Trail follows the spine of Sandstone Ridge, providing access through a rugged interior punctuated by summits like Sliderock Mountain, which features the Side Rock Lookout. The hydrological network is dense, with many smaller streams like Grizzly Creek and Flat Creek feeding into larger systems such as Upper Willow Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Flint Creek Range.
