1906 Map of Lonesome

About this map

Lonesome Prairie stretches across this north-central Montana landscape, documented by topographer Wm. Stranahan just after the turn of the century. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainage channels, including Sixmile Coulee, Twelvemile Coulee, and Fourteenmile Coulee, which carve through the high plains toward the southern reaches of the map. This era of settlement is sparsely represented, anchored primarily by Godfrey's Ranch, located near the center of the sheet.
