1948 Map of Capeneys Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Medicine Lake Migratory Waterfowl Refuge dominates this northeastern Montana landscape, where the waters of Medicine Lake and Capeneys Lake provide a critical sanctuary for regional bird populations. The terrain is marked by essential rural infrastructure from the late 1940s, including Gaffney Pass and the notable Rock Crossing north of the lake. Educational life is documented by the presence of the Beverly Sch and Hammond Sch near the southern boundary, which marks the line between Sheridan and Roosevelt counties. This survey, compiled from 1946 aerial photography and plane-table methods, captures the high-plains environment before significant modern development, featuring scattered Windmills and a Lookout Tower that served as vital landmarks for local ranchers and land managers in this open country.
