1959 Map of Alberton

About this map

Alberton sits along the southern edge of this mid-century survey, positioned where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Northern Pacific railroads trace the winding path of the Clark Fork. The map documents a rugged landscape dominated by the Lolo National Forest, defined by high ridgelines including the Squaw Peak Divide and Ninemile Divide. Settlement patterns follow the valley floors, notably along Ninemile Creek, where local landmarks like the Ninemile Community Hall and Ninemile Ranger Sta reflect the civic life of this timber and ranching region.
