1959 Map of Grant

About this map

Horse Prairie dominates the southern landscape of this Beaverhead County region, where the settlement of Grant serves as a focal point for a remote ranching and mining district. The map records a series of established family holdings, including the Christensen Ranch, Hughes Ranch, and Pierce Ranch, which are situated along the drainages of Painter Creek and Horse Prairie Creek. This late-1950s survey captures the era before significant modernization, showing a landscape defined by traditional land use and early resource extraction.
