1956 Map of Molt

About this map

Molt serves as the primary rail-side hub for this section of the Montana landscape, situated along the Northern Pacific line where it snakes through the upper drainage of Canyon Creek. The topography is defined by the sharp transition from the level reaches of the Basin in the northwest to the deeply incised draws and canyons that drop toward the southeast. For local history researchers, the map provides specific placements for the Lazy K T Ranch and the Luckey Homestead, offering a look at rural land tenure in the mid-1950s. Water management is a central theme, evidenced by numerous Spring and Well points, alongside Indian Spring and the Morgan Spring. The Stillwater Co Yellowstone Co line bisects the eastern portion of the sheet, cutting across the rugged breaks and the high, level plateau of the Flat.
