It covers resources associated with the Butte, Anaconda and Pacific Railway.

A Butte, Anaconda and Pacific Railway Historic District (Boundary Increase) added some Western rustic architecture in or near Durant, Montana. The boundary increase added eight contributing buildings on 20 acres (8.1 ha) at the confluence of German Gulch and Silver Bow Creek at the east end of Silver Bow Canyon.[3]

The district may have been incorporated into the huge Butte-Anaconda Historic District when that district was expanded in 2006.
