Summary
Abum caption: Glendale, Montana, in 1883. This old drawing of Glendale, viewed from the southeast, shows the town in more thriving days. Center of activity then was the smelter (left center) that processed the ore material mined at Hecla and vicinity. Only the chimney, a few shells, and cellar holes of buildings remain in the town. Trapper Creek valley extends from upper left to lower right in the perspective. The foreground is underlain by Cretaceous sedimentary rocks of the Colorado Group. The hills in the upper right part of the picture are south of Dry Hollow Gulch; from left to right the peaks against the skyline are at 6,500 ft, 6,700 ft, and 6,628 ft elevation on the Vipond Park topographic quadrangle map. These hills are underlain by the Upper Paleozoic Amsden, Quadrant, and Phosphoria Formations in fault-bounded blocks. The hills to the left of town are part of the complex anticline cored by the Amsden Formation; the four readily identified peaks, from left to right, are the 6,484-, 6,674-, and 6,7660-foot peaks on Vipond Park topographic map. The valley between the two groups of hills is the Trusty Gulch syncline; the sharp knows in the center of the valley are either side of Canyon Creek valley and are underlain by the Quadrant Quartzite. The original photograph of this drawing is in the Beaverhead Museum in Dillon, Montana.
