General

Map shows the line following Bear Butte Creek through Galena and to the west, but it then follows Strawberry Creek toward Pluma, connecting with the Burlington at Whitewood Creek, much as US 385 does today [2024]. The Bear Butte part of the route was used, but not the Strawberry Creek portion. Note on map says it was cancelled in 1906.
