1969 Map of Beebe

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Beebe (Site) occupies a central position in this remote section of Custer County, marked here as a point of interest along the drainage of Pumpkin Creek. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of ephemeral watercourses including La Grange Creek, Fire Creek, and Rough Creek that carve into the high plains. This late-1960s survey illustrates a ranching-driven economy where life followed the contours of the land and the reliable water of several wells. Transport through the area relied on the Powderville Road, while small Landing Strips provided vital aerial access to these isolated sections. The map preserves a moment when small outposts like Beebe remained significant enough for federal cartographic recording, even as the rural population began to consolidate or shift. Local family names or regional descriptors appear in features like Maggie Creek and Chinnick Creek, providing valuable leads for genealogical research into this corner of Montana.
