About this map

Industrial and water management infrastructure dominates this Montana valley north of Anaconda. The settlement at Warm Springs is anchored by the Warmsprings Post Office and the Warm Springs Creek Bridge, situated near a series of massive sediment structures including Warm Springs Tailing Dam Number 1, Number 2, and Number 3. To the south, the Opportunity Tailings Ponds Dam further illustrates the legacy of regional mining operations.

Northward, the community of Galen sits along the Galen Spur rail line, with irrigation features like the Jacobson Ditch and Fifer-Cumnock Ditch crisscrossing the landscape between Modesty Creek and the winding Clark Fork. Historic transport routes are evident in the Yellowstone Trl, while the Ruby Mine in the western foothills near Spring Gulch points to the area's mineral extraction history. Aviation activity is centered at Bowman Field and the Anaconda Airport in the southwestern corner.
