Nice image! That's also known as Chestnut. Way back in the dark ages, coal from the mines up Trail Creek were roasted for coke. This coke was hauled down to Chestnut to be loaded in cars headed to the smelters to the west In Butte, Anaconda, and East Helena. That's what the rough terrain to the right is.
