  • GOLD WEST COUNTRY 2012 TRAVEL PLANNER Mount Ascension, Helena (Tom Robertson) the Montana You Have in Mind Is the One We Have in Store
    goldwest.visitmt.com | 800.879.1159 VISITOR’S GUIDE TO THE BEST OF MONTANA GOLD WEST COUNTRY 2012 TRAVEL PLANNER Mount Ascension, Helena (Tom Robertson) THE MONTANA YOU HAVE IN MIND IS THE ONE WE have IN store. When you think of Montana, what do you picture? Skyscraping ranges of snowcapped rock? Historic, cultural centers that tell of a proud, self-determined West? A cowboy tipping his hat to you as he passes by on a boardwalk? Herds of elk grazing in waist-deep bunch grass? A sky so wide it seems to swallow you up? Then you’re picturing Gold West Country, a stretch of Southwest Montana we humbly claim holds the best of what Montana is about. Its spirit, wildness, culture and charm. Its stunning beauty. Gold West Country is one of six tourism regions in the state. We are situated on the route from Yellowstone National Park to Glacier National Park. At our northern end sits the cowboy town of Augusta with its famed rodeo. At our center are Helena and Butte, cornerstones of Montana’s history. Our south is the famed Trout Triangle, a who’s who and what’s what of trout fishing and outdoor pursuits. (Donnie Sexton) Antelope (John Belobraidic) WWW.GOLDWEST.VISITMT.COM 1 AMID IT ALL, you’ll meet a diverse mix of friendly people — hoteliers, restaurateurs, shopkeepers, historians, ranchers, miners, fly anglers, cowboys (and girls) and more. You’ll have opportunities to glimpse the same wildlife Lewis and Clark marveled at more than two centuries ago — elk, black bears, mule deer, moose, golden eagles and perhaps even a gray wolf.

Kellogg2 Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology Open File Report MBMG 469 2002 Minor revisions: 1/03 Text revised and plate removed: 6/03 References added, Plate 2 removed: superseded by Geologic Map of Western and Northern Gallatin Valley (Vuke, 2003). Page 2 text changed to reflect this. 1Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology 2U.S. Geological Survey This report has been reviewed for conformity with Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology’s technical and editorial standards. Partial support has been provided by the STATEMAP component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey under contract number 02HQAG0038, and Montana Department of Transportation under contract CFDA number 20.205. PRELIMINARY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE BOZEMAN 30’ x 60’ QUADRANGLE This geologic map of the Bozeman 30’x 60’ quadrangle is released with the intention that it will be followed by a revised version that incorporates new mapping of the Cenozoic deposits, including Geologic Map of Northern and Western Gallatin Valley, Southwestern Montana (Vuke, 2003). Ash samples have been collected for 40Ar/39Ar dates from Tertiary beds in the Madison bluffs and Storey Hills areas, and the results will also be included in a future version of the enclosed map. The senior author has made tentative structural interpretations on the enclosed map that are based on map patterns but with only minimal subsurface data. These interpretations were not shown on the earlier blueline version of Plate 1 (MBMG Open file report 334).
