1951 Map of Ibex Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Ibex Mountain and the surrounding peaks of the Gallatin Mountains define this high-country landscape, where ranching and forestry have long coexisted. The 1951 field data reveals a network of family-operated lands along the lower elevations, including the Cox Ranch, Footer Ranch, and Criswell Ranch. These agricultural hubs were supported by local institutions like the Cottonwood School and Pleasant View School, which served the dispersed population. Drainage patterns are vital to the area, with Cottonwood Creek and Rock Creek carving through the terrain near the National Forest Boundary. The presence of the Rock Creek Cemetery and several gravel pits indicates a settled community integrated with the natural resources of the Gallatin National Forest. The map also captures infrastructure like the Cottonwood Road and various irrigation ditches that supported these upland valley operations.
