2014 Map of Whites City

About this map

Whites City stands as a focal point in this mountainous landscape, situated where the high drainages of White Cr meet the lower slopes of the Big Belt Mountains. The area is defined by a dense network of gulches and canyons, including Skiddoo Gulch and Little Bridge Canyon, which historically served as conduits for mining and ranching access. The high elevations are marked by Needham Mtn and Bilk Mtn, providing a topographic backdrop to the Helena National Forest lands that dominate the eastern and western sections of the quadrangle. The map details a complex system of remote mountain roads, such as Confederate Gulch Rd and Benton Gulch Rd, which follow the natural contours of the drainage systems. These routes link scattered geographic features like Beaver Dam Gulch and Lambing Camp Gulch, illustrating the legacy of early livestock management and mineral prospecting in this part of Montana.
