1966 Map of Whites City

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Helena National Forest dominates this mid-1960s survey, documenting a rugged landscape of the Big Belt Mountains where Broadwater and Meagher counties meet. The settlement of Whites City sits in the lower terrain, surrounded by a complex network of gulches that reveal the area's mining and ranching legacy. Evidence of prospecting is scattered throughout the drainages, notably at the Humming Bird Mine and Schabert Mine, as well as numerous unnamed Mines and Prospects in the high country. The map traces a topography defined by steep ridges like Needham Mountain and Bilk Mountain, intersected by seasonal drainages such as Ready Cash Gulch and Cement Gulch. This period records the backcountry access routes of the era, including the Little Bridge Trail and various unimproved dirt roads that follow the winding paths of Beaver Creek and White Creek.
