1893 Map of Huntley

About this map

Crow Indian Reservation lands dominate the southern half of this landscape, established by the Western Boundary of the Crow Indian Reservation as it follows the rugged drainage divides. Surveyed in the late nineteenth century, the map documents the critical transport corridor of the Northern Pacific Railroad as it shadows the south bank of the Yellowstone River. This alignment shaped early settlement patterns, concentrating rail stops at Huntley and Clermont while the interior remained a network of seasonal watercourses and coulees.
