About this map

Virginia City serves as the focal point of this survey, revealing the street grid and structural density of this significant Montana settlement. The landscape is deeply etched by a network of drainage gulches that speak to the area's mining heritage, with Alder Gulch Rd and Prospect Mine Rd winding through the terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies three distinct burial sites: Boothill Cem, Virginia City Cem, and the nearby Nevada City Cem to the northwest.

The surrounding territory is defined by named hollows and gulches, including Hungry Hollow, Butcher Gulch, and Browns Gulch. Water resources such as Granite Cr and Daylight Cr flow through the high-elevation topography. The placement of the Old Virginia City Hwy alongside modern routes like E Wallace St provides a clear view of how transportation has evolved to accommodate the local geography and historical settlement patterns.
