1961 Map of Dana Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Large cattle operations and remote outposts define this stretch of the Cascade and Meagher County border in the early 1960s. The landscape is marked by established holdings such as the Dana Ranch and Staunton Ranch, alongside the noted location of Adel (Site), suggesting a shift from earlier settlement patterns to consolidated ranching. The terrain rises sharply toward The Pinnacles and Castle Rock, while water sources like Hound Creek and Fourteen Spring Creek carve through the draws. The reliance on primitive infrastructure is evident in the network of Jeep Trails and the singular Adel Road that connect isolated camps like Sheep Camp to the larger family-named ranches. This survey captures a moment before modern development altered the classic Montana ranching environment, preserving the names of specific family sites and seasonal camps across Wosinek Flats and Squaw Hollow.
