Gold Creek (Montana)
Gold Creek is a creek in southwestern Montana, United States, on Interstate 90 northwest of Garrison, between Butte and Missoula. It flows through parts of Granite County and Powell County and empties into the Clark Fork (river) at the ghost town of Goldcreek , northwest of the town of Garrison.
In 1852, a trapper named Francois Finlay, who was also known as Benetsee, found the first recorded gold in what is now Montana in what he named Benetsee Creek.〔Fogarty, Kate Hammond. ''The Story of Montana.'' New York and Chicago: A. S. Barnes company, 1916.〕 However, not enough gold was found to make mining commercially viable.〔〔Vaughn, Robert. ''Then and Now, or, Thirty-Six Years in the Rockies: Personal Reminiscences of Some of the First Pioneers of the State of Montana: Indians and Indian Wars: The Past and Present of the Rocky Mountain Country: 1864-1900.'' Minneapolis: Tribune Printing Company, 1900.〕
In 1858, prospectors James and Granville Stuart and Reese Anderson discovered gold in the creek.〔Milner, Clyde A. and O'Connor, Carol A. ''As Big as the West: The Pioneer Life of Granville Stuart.'' New York: Oxford University Press US, 2008. ISBN 0-19-512709-9〕 The three men didn't have sufficient tools to begin excavating, and were unable to return with the proper equipment until 1862.〔 The creek was renamed "Gold Creek" because of the gold found there.〔 The Stuart brothers and their prospecting party helped open up Western Montana to settlers, all due to their initial find at Gold Creek. 〔 () Guide to the Granville and James Stuart Papers at the University of Montana 〕
Gold Creek is near where the last spike of the Northern Pacific Railway was driven on September 8, 1883.
