1950 Map of Duck Creek Pass

About this map

The Big Belt Mountains dominate this 1950 survey, where high-altitude ranching and mining define the local economy. At the northern edge, Duck Creek Pass provides a crossing through the range, overlooking several family operations including the Doggett Ranch and the Domer Ranch. Evidence of earlier resource extraction is visible at the Gold Mines near the Middle Fork Duck Creek, while the presence of numerous defunct facilities like the Duck Creek School and Plymale Homestead suggests a shifting population during the mid-century.
