1942 Map of Gallup City

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Gallup City serves as a central point in this northern Montana landscape, where the high plains of the Pondera Co Teton Co border meet an intricate network of irrigation and livestock ranching. Surveyed in the late 1930s, the map reveals a countryside defined by deep coulees and expansive plateaus like Benton Bench and Porter Bench. The agricultural economy of the era is evident in the numerous named homesteads such as MacLain Ranch and Scoffon Ranch, supported by the Bynum Canal and the waters of the Marias River. A robust rural educational system is visible through many local schoolhouses, including Spring Creek Sch, Lincoln Sch, and Morhardt Sch, which were vital community hubs for the dispersed ranching families. The Montana Western railroad cuts across the northern reaches near Manson, providing the necessary connection to larger markets for this remote territory.
