1995 Map of North Stacey School

About this map

Custer National Forest anchors the southwestern portion of this landscape, where the high elevations of Liscom Mtn and the prominent Castle Rock lookout define the local horizon. The map illustrates a high-desert terrain carved by a dense network of drainages, including Foster Creek and the aptly named Starvation Creek. A clear Base Line and the county boundary between Custer and Powder River counties bisect the region, marking a transition in administrative and ranching territories. Scattered throughout the draws are essential water sources such as Bathtub Spring and Red Shale Spring, which supported the livestock and small-scale infrastructure of the era. The presence of the North Stacey School and the nearby North Stacey Cem provides a focal point for researchers interested in the rural social history and early educational outposts of southeastern Montana.
