2011 Map of Table Mountain

About this map

Julia Lee Mine and the Big Bonanza Mine underscore the industrial character of this corner of the Highland Mountains south of Butte. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages and named peaks, including Table Mountain and Big Sheep Mountain, which rise above the complex network of Hells Canyon Creek and Steels Pass Creek. Evidence of historical timber and mineral interest is scattered throughout the drainages, notably at Sawmill Gulch and across several section-named mining sites. These features, along with names like Brazil Ridge and Dougherty Butte, suggest a legacy of individual claims and local family history embedded in the terrain. The presence of Bull Pen Spring and Little Cherry Creek Springs highlights the critical water sources that once supported high-altitude activities in this part of Silver Bow County.
