1966 Map of Highland Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Swamp Creek and Moose Creek define the northern drainage of this Beaverhead County landscape, where the terrain transitions from seasonal wetlands into the foothills. The 1966 field data reveals a rural economy centered on cattle ranching and early-stage resource extraction, evidenced by the central Highland Ranch and multiple Gravel Pit locations scattered across the slopes. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the confluence of Rock Creek and Big Lake Creek, providing vital water sources for the remote homesteads. Genealogists will find the Briston Cem located near Briston Lane, a quiet marker of the early families who settled this high-altitude range. The survey captures a moment when traditional land use remained largely unchanged by modern development, preserving the original road alignments and water-rights infrastructure of the mid-20th century.
