The federal record (USGS MRDS) lists 70 gold occurrences in
Deer Lodge County — 29 of them past or active producers. Below is that record,
readable: the documented sites, and the live map that puts claims, creeks, roads and geology
under every one of them.
Showing the top 30 of 70 recorded gold occurrences — every one is on the live map.
What this can — and can't — tell you
The public record shows where gold was documented, claimed and produced. It cannot tell you
what's left, whether a specific creek still carries color, or that any spot will pay. What it
CAN do is stack the odds: known sources upslope, the creeks that drain them, what's already
claimed, and the bedrock — read together. Always verify claim status with BLM and land rules
before you dig. Information, not advice.
The free map shows every dot above. Membership opens the
layers that turn dots into a plan — favorability at working zoom, active claims, land ownership,
geology and the creeks that drain the known sources. The first 7 days are free.
