1951 Map of Chimney Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The high ridges of Gallatin National Forest dominate this 1951 topographic study, where local industry and ranching meet the steep slopes of Wineglass Mountain and Pine Mountain. The map details a period of transition for the area's mineral extraction, specifically noting the Maxey Mine and Maxey Mines as inactive by the time of the field check. This shift in economic activity is contrasted by the established presence of the Hoffman School (Maxey School) and local agricultural holdings like the Blome Ranch and Nesbit Ranch. Water management is a visible priority in the lower elevations, where the Briscoe Ditch, Highline Ditch, and Park Branch Canal indicate the importance of irrigation to the drainage basins of Strickland Creek and Maxey Creek. Significant landmarks like The Hogback and Chimney Rock serve as primary navigational points in this complex terrain.
