1957 Map of Cedar Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Cedar Ridge rises as a prominent landmark along the boundary where Carter Co, Montana, meets Crook Co, Wyoming. This mid-century survey documents a high-plains landscape defined by seasonal drainages like Battle Creek and the meandering course of the Little Missouri River. The settlement pattern reflects the ranching and resource-extraction economy of the 1950s, scattered with rural outposts such as Leonard Ranch and Storm Ranch. Remote education centers are surprisingly frequent, with Thompson Creek Sch, Storm Sch, Hulett Creek Sch, and Wood Sch serving the local families. Industrial activity is represented by the Blackbanks site, several Oil Well locations, and the Fortunate Mines in the southern reaches. The map also traces a long Pipeline cutting through the terrain, illustrating the infrastructure required to transport energy resources from these sparsely populated borderlands.
