"Crown Butte," a landscape painting by Barbara Rusmore. Anyone who visits the vicinity around Crown Butte, Henderson Mountain and the drainage where the New World Mine would have been constructed might not be aware of the toxic legacy of historic mining or the threat of new mining that loomed large. Not only was a mine fought off, but reclamation has resulted in re-wilding near Yellowstone and the Absaroka-Beartooth-Beartooth Wilderness.
