1920 Map of Jennings

About this map

The Kootenai River snakes through this 1920 military survey, serving as a corridor for the Great Northern R.R. and several small timber and rail-side settlements. Located at the intersection of the Kootenai National Forest, Blackfeet National Forest, and Cabinet National Forest, the map reveals a landscape defined by industrial movement and isolated ranching. Named homesteads like Boothman Ranch, Mc Millans Ranch, and the Kenelty Ranch are scattered throughout the river valleys. A notable feature is the Abandoned Roadbed south of Fisher Creek Station, indicating early shifts in rail logistics. From the tiny outpost at Mamicke P.O. to the high-elevation lookout at Wolf Mt. 6500 F.S. Station, the map documents a transitional era when post offices and forest service stations were the primary anchors for remote residents in Lincoln County.
