Abstract

The investigated area lies about five miles south of Helena, Montana, near the abandoned gold camp of Montana City. Topographically, the area reflects the sedimentary formations and the igneous rocks, quartz monzonite and rhyolite. Static recrystallization of the sedimentary rocks caused by the intrusion of the Boulder Batholith, along with deformation of sedimentary beds by pre-batholithic folding and by post-batholithic faulting have complicated the geologic picture.
