If you look at that shadow on Montana’s south western side right next to the low end of the Idaho Panhandle you’ll see the Bitterroot Valley (Hamilton, Corvallis, Stevensville) which was producing Macs like crazy in that time frame. From there they came to Missoula and then to Butte as well as to points east via the highline.
