About this map

The Ruins of Fort Maginnis and its associated Fort Maginnis Cem anchor the historic center of this 1941 topography. Located in the shadow of the mountains, the area shows a landscape transitioning from high-altitude mining to lowland ranching. A legacy of heavy industry is visible in numerous dormant workings such as the Spotted Horse Mine (Inactive) and Giltedge Mine (Inactive), which are clustered near Judith Peak and Maginnis Mtn.

Downslope, the eastern plains are defined by early education centers like Pleasant Plains Sch and the Cheadle Sch, serving families near the Great Northern Railroad and its abandoned grades. Natural water sources are vital here, with numerous labeled springs and reservoirs supporting the drainages of Chippewa Creek and McDonald Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain before later developments altered the local character, capturing a period when the mountain mines were already labeled inactive.
