1939 Map of Mt Wood

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Industrial activity and high-altitude wilderness define this portion of the Custer National Forest on the eve of the 1940s. The northern reaches of the Granite Range dominate the landscape, with peaks such as Mt Wood and Cathedral Peak rising above the Stillwater Plateau. Resource extraction is a central theme of the era, visible in the working sites of the Mouat Mine and Benbow Mine, along with the Tanove Coal Mine near the settlement of Nye. These industrial outposts contrast with the pastoral and administrative life found at the Meyers Creek Ranger Station, Beartooth Ranch, and small schoolhouses like Limestone Sch. The Stillwater River serves as the primary drainage, carving a valley that hosts the most developed infrastructure, including the Nye Cem and local school.
