    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.

This archaeological site is located at an elevation of 6,400ft above sea-level in the Northern Big Belt Mountains in Montana. The Sundog Site is a multi- component site with occupations from the Late Paleoindian period to the Late Prehistoric period. This site is significant due to its intact cultural deposits in a high-altitude park, in an elevational range that currently has a data gap.

Marten were historically present in the Little Belts but were likely extirpated by the early 20th century. Habitat models and biologists predict that there is extensive high-quality marten habitat in the Little Belts and marten currently occur in adjacent mountain ranges. FWP proposes to initially capture up to 60 marten in southwest MT over the next two winters. The intent of the reintroduction is to establish a selÊsustaining and genetically diverse population of marten in the Little Belt Mountain complex. Additional copies of the draft EA are available at Montana Fish, V/ildlife & Parks in Great Falls at (406) 454-5840. The draft EA is also available on the F'WP website at http://fi¡¡p.mt.gov/news/publicNotices/. A2l-day public review and comment period will be available July 10 - July 31,2020.
