1951 Map of Bozeman Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Bozeman Pass serves as the central focal point of this 1951 topographic survey, where the Northern Pacific railroad and early automotive routes traverse the divide between the Gallatin and Yellowstone drainages. The landscape is defined by its deep industrial roots, particularly concentrated around Chestnut and the surrounding slopes. The map reveals a dense network of coal and mineral extraction sites, including the Anaconda Copper Mines, Stinking Water Mine, and the Coke Ovens (Ruins) near Muir. This era represents a transition where traditional mountain ranching and heavy industry coexist with early recreation, evidenced by the Bozeman Ski Lodge and the Mystic Lake Ranger Station. Genealogy and local history researchers can locate several rural educational landmarks, such as the La Motte School and the Bengtken School (Aban'd), alongside numerous family-named properties like the Mc Reynolds Ranch and Hoffman (Aban'd).
