1954 Map of P N Ranch

About this map

Missouri River and Judith River converge in this mid-century landscape where high plains and deep coulees meet. The map documents significant ranching and frontier history at the P N Ranch, located near the historic Old Fort Clagget (Site) and PN Island. The terrain is defined by massive formations like Eightmile Bench and Missouri Bench, cut by deep drainages such as Evers Coulee and Mutton Coulee. Traces of the territory's earlier era are visible in the Wagon Wheel Trail and a Grave (Historical) situated near Claggett Hill. Notable water features include 79 Ranch Spring and the distinctive Hole-in-the-Wall formation along the river. This survey provides a precise look at the geography of the Missouri River Basin during the mid-1950s development period.
