1956 Map of Beehive

About this map

The Stillwater River winds through the northern portion of this Stillwater County landscape, which transitions from high plateaus down into narrow, deeply cut drainages. The small settlement of Beehive sits near the river's edge, supported by the Beehive Sch and a network of irrigation ditches that define the early mid-century agricultural footprint. To the south, the terrain rises toward the Forest Boundary, where the Custer National Forest encompasses landmarks like Fishtail Butte and the broad Dean Basin.
