1965 Map of Emond Ranch

About this map

Regina PO serves as a lonely landmark in this 1965 survey of Phillips County, where the landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Beaver Creek and the southern flow of First Creek. The map documents a sparse ranching environment, capturing the specific locations of family-named sites like the Emond Ranch and the Peigneux Ranch. This area, mapped as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, illustrates the isolation and essential water-reliance of mid-century Montana plains life.
