1954 Map of P N Ranch

About this map

The Missouri River and Judith River converge in this high-plains landscape, where the confluence is overlooked by the historic Old Fort Clagget (Site). The terrain is defined by massive natural features like Eightmile Bench and the broad depressions of The Big Sag and The Little Sag, illustrating the dramatic erosional history of the Missouri River Basin. Settlement patterns in the mid-1950s centered on major livestock operations, including the PN Ranch and the 79 Ranch Spring. Evidence of the frontier era remains visible through the Wagon Wheel Trail and a noted Grave (Historical) near Clagget Hill. Navigational hazards such as Deadman Rapids and notable landmarks like Hole-in-the-Wall underscore the Missouri's role as a primary artery for early transit and commerce through Chouteau and Fergus counties.
