1962 Map of Mitchell Mountain

About this map

Hilger Valley and the surrounding high country in Lewis and Clark Co provide a look at the ranching and transportation corridors of the early 1960s. The eastern edge of the map follows the Great Northern rail line and Little Prickly Pear Creek, a vital passage through the mountains near the small settlement of Sieben. This area is dominated by the sprawling Sieben Ranch, illustrating the large-scale livestock operations that have long defined the region's economy.
