Montana City a Lost Placer Camp on the Montana Line
The article recalls Montana City once thriving along the Butte line of the Great Northern Railway seven miles southeast of Helena. It was briefly Jefferson county’s first county seat with gold found at Prickly Pear diggings in July 1862. A townsite company laid out a town, but no depot or buildings remain and the area now shows only a sign and barren ground.
