2011 Map of Lone Pine School

About this map

Lone Pine School (Historical) and the Holy Eucharist Cemetery anchor this section of McCone County, where the high plains landscape is defined by a dendritic network of intermittent drainages. Waterways such as Presserville Creek, Coal Creek, and the East Fork Sand Creek carve through the terrain, suggesting the importance of seasonal water management in this agricultural region. The map reveals a sparse but deliberate infrastructure of section-line roads, including Austrian Rd and Hubbard Rd, which facilitate movement between isolated homesteads and ranching operations. The presence of the historical school site provides a specific point of reference for researchers tracing the early 20th-century educational footprint and settlement patterns in eastern Montana, while the local cemetery serves as a key record for genealogical study within the rural community.
