1970 Map of Heath

About this map

The small settlement of Heath serves as the focal point for this 1970 Fergus County survey, situated at the confluence of several vital watercourses. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Big Spring Creek and the intricate networks of Marcott Creek and East Fork Big Spring Creek. The presence of the Mountain View Sch and a Community Hall indicates a established rural community, while the Landing Strip and various Gravel Pit sites suggest localized industry and transportation infrastructure. Genealogists and researchers can trace family lands near named features like Hansen Creek or the Shammel terrain. The map captures a moment in Montana's ranching and agricultural history where the balance between small-town infrastructure and the natural topography of canyons and forks remained clearly visible on the land.
