1915 Map of Frazer

About this map

The Fort Peck Indian Reservation dominates this 1915 landscape, showcasing a period of significant transition in northeast Montana. The Great Northern railway cuts a horizontal line across the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as the primary corridor for settlement and commerce. Along this vital rail link, the settlements of Frazer and Kintyre are established just north of the meandering Missouri River. The river itself serves as a major geographical boundary, separating Valley and Dawson counties. This survey, conducted between 1908 and 1913, illustrates the early 20th-century reliance on both rail transport and natural waterways like Little Porcupine Creek and Farmer Creek. The map provides a clear view of the prairie topography and the emerging infrastructure that would shape the region’s development.
