  • Geology of Part of the Townsend Valley Broadwater and Jefferson
    Geology of Part of the Townsend Valley Broadwater and Jefferson » Counties,x Montana GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 1042-N CONTRIBUTIONS TO ECONOMIC GEOLOGY GEOLOGY OF PART OF THE TOWNSEND VALLEY BROADWATER AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES, MONTANA By V. L. FREEMAN, E. T. RUPPEL, and M. R. KLEPPER ABSTRACT The Townsend Valley, a broad intermontane basin in west-central Montana, extends from Toston to Canyon Ferry. The area described in this report includes that part of the valley west of longitude 111° 30' W. and south of latitude 46° 30' N. and the low hills west and south of the valley. The Missouri River enters the area near Townsend and flows northward through the northern half of the area. Three perennial tributaries and a number of intermittent streams flow across the area and into the river from the west. The hilly parts of the area are underlain mainly by folded sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Precambrian to Cretaceous. The broad pediment in the southwestern part is underlain mainly by folded andesitic volcanic rocks of Upper Cretaceous age and a relatively thin sequence of gently deformed tuffaceous rocks of Tertiary age. The remainder of the area is underlain by a thick sequence of Tertiary tuffaceous rocks that is partly blanketed by late Tertiary and Quater­ nary unconsolidated deposits. Two units of Precambrian age, 13 of Paleozoic age, 7 of Mesozoic age, and several of Cenozoic tuffaceous rock and gravel were mapped. Rocks of the Belt series of Precambrian age comprise a thick sequence of silt- stone, sandstone, shale, and subordinate limestone divisible into the Greyson shale, the Spokane shale, and the basal part of the Empire shale, which was mapped with the underlying Spokane shale.

Since the 2007 Wolverine Workshop, we have been focused on implementing conservation actions made possible by the first phase of the program and developing a second phase of work. The Ph.D. program that Bob is undertaking in Sweden has allowed us to incorporate a great deal of knowledge from the 15 years of wolverine research experience accumulated by the Swedish Wolverine Project. Between these interactions, the ideas generated by the biologists who attended the wolverine workshop, and the pilot studies we conducted this past spring, we are ready to move forward.
