More than 200 mines pierced“The Hill” (shown in colored tint)and its surrounding neighborhoods.Mine shafts literally underminedmuch of the central district of Butte.Some of the most famous of these minesare shown with a red triangle, anda name where space permits.
An approximateoutline of theBerkeley Pit isshown in orange
The Pit, opened in 1955,entirely consumed thedistrict of Meaderville, hometo Italians, Serbs, Croats,and the center of thenightclub scene in old Butte.Construction of the pit andalterations in roads causedthe demolition of much ofthe East Side and part ofFinn Town and Dublin Gulch.
Later surface miningoperations, outlined inblue, consumed thedistrict of McQueen,shown on this map, andthe famous ColumbiaGardens, which were offthis map to the right.
The approximate areas ofthe old Red Light Districtare shown in red tint.Yellow tint marks thearea of Chinatown.
