About this map

The Bearpaw Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this 1950s Montana survey, characterized by prominent landmarks like Mans Head Rock and Lloyd Butte. This high-plains terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Snake Creek, Tiger Creek, and Grasshopper Coulee, which cut through the ridges and buttes. The settlement of Lloyd serves as the primary focal point in the south, supported by the Lloyd Sch.

A scattered network of rural schoolhouses, including Sprague Sch, Ada Sch, and Cole Sch, reflects the localized social organization of this ranching and mining country during the mid-20th century. Economic activity is represented by the Rader Mine in the northeast and water management features like Grasshopper Res. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Hill Co and Blaine Co, providing a clear record of the area's infrastructure before significant modern development.
