1962 Map of Guthridge Ranch

About this map

The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad traverses the northern reaches of this Rosebud County landscape, following the natural corridor of Home Creek. This early 1960s survey captures a ranching environment where water sources like Hildebrand Spring, Russell Spring, and West Muggins Creek dictate the placement of human activity. The map reveals the isolation of the Guthridge Ranch and other remote outposts, connected by unimproved dirt roads and a sprawling Pipeline network. Distinctive geological markers such as Eagle Rock and the prominent Muggins Gap serve as essential navigational landmarks in a region defined by complex drainage patterns and shifting elevations. Genealogists and local historians can find specific points of interest, including a marked Grave near the northern border and various remote Well sites that supported early 20th-century life.
