2014 Map of Rapelje

About this map

Rapelje serves as the primary hub in this Stillwater County landscape, where the town's grid meets a network of vital prairie routes like Big Timber Rd and Rapelje Rd. The terrain is defined by the broad Lake Basin and a series of prominent elevations including Jones Hill, Hugh Henry Hill, and Love Hill. For genealogists and local historians, the Rapelje Cem provides a specific point of interest south of the main settlement. The drainage patterns of the region are clearly delineated by the numerous seasonal waterways, most notably Sixshooter Cr and Middle Cr, which cut through the agricultural sections. The map also identifies the locality of Busteed, illustrating the distribution of named places and family-named landmarks like Gurney Gulch that characterize the rural development of this Montana high-plains region.
