1951 Map of Mc Leod Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Boulder River carves a deep valley through the heart of this mid-century Montana landscape, where the Gallatin National Forest boundary meets the agricultural lands of Park and Sweet Grass counties. The presence of the Coal Mine in the northern hills and the network of irrigation systems like the Mc Leod Ditch and Mason Ditch illustrate the era's reliance on both extractive industry and water management for ranching. A notable shift in local infrastructure is visible with the McLeod School (Aband) appearing alongside the functioning West Boulder School, suggesting changing settlement patterns. Recreation and conservation are anchored by the Main Boulder Ranger Station and the Old Kainuck Guest Ranch, while landmarks like the Natural Bridge and Falls remain prominent natural features in the high terrain of Baker Mountain and Green Mountain.
