Bearcreek, Montana |
|
Bearcreek is named for the stream that flows though town: Bear Creek. In the early 1900's, this was a coal mining area with a population near 3,000 at its peak. A rail spur came into the area from Belfry for shipping the coal out. Then on February 27, 1943, the Smith Mine #3 exploded and killed 74 men. That was pretty much the end of the coal mines in the Bearcreek area. Today, the railway bed can still be seen but the tracks were removed long ago. |
