Abstract:
This layer contains railroad lines for the Streamside Tailings Operable Unit between Enright, near I-15, and Crackerville. The lines originated as U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000 Digital Line Graph data and were clipped to the area of the Operable Unit. Lines that were available in the Upper Clark Fork Large Scale Photogrammetric Base Map data set were removed, and the remaining lines were adjusted so that they connected with the ends of the photogrammetric data.

These data were formerly available from the Montana State Library web site but were removed because they are potentially out of date. Please contact the Federal Superfund Bureau of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality if you want these data so they may tell you if newer or better data are available. If the data are not available from the Department of Environmental Quality, you may request a copy from the Montana State Library data archive.
