1888 Map of Three Forks
USGS Topo · Published 1888About this map
Virginia City and the territorial-era mining camps of Nevada City and Adobe anchor the southwestern reaches of this survey, conducted just years after the gold rushes that shaped the region. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Jefferson River, Madison River, and Gallatin River to form the Missouri River near Gallatin City and Three Forks. This junction served as a vital corridor for both early river navigation and the Northern Pacific Railroad, which links settlements like Moreland and Central Park across the Gallatin Valley.
