1951 Map of Gobblers Knob

About this map

Gobblers Knob rises as a central landmark in this high-elevation landscape of Park County, Montana, as documented during the early 1950s. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of numerous drainages, including the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork of Willow Creek, which carve through the southern portion of the sheet. The northern reaches are shaped by Brackett Creek and Canyon Creek. Evidence of early agricultural and livestock operations is visible through several named homesteads and facilities, such as the Gibson Ranch, Scott Ranch, and the Terry Sheep Camp. This mid-century survey also captures the industrial footprint of the era with multiple locations marked as Mine (inactive), indicating a shift away from earlier extraction activities. The western edge of the map is dominated by the Gallatin National Forest, delineated by a clear Forest Boundary.
