About this map

Rapelje serves as the primary hub in this portion of Stillwater County, situated at the intersection of Rapelje Rd and Main St. The landscape is defined by the broad Lake Basin and a series of prominent elevations named for local families and figures, including Hugh Henry Hill, Jones Hill, and Love Hill. A complex network of drainage basins feeds into the area, with Sixshooter Cr and Middle Cr winding through the township lines of T3N and T2N.

Smaller geographic markers like Gurney Gulch and the settlement of Busteed provide specific points of interest for those tracing the agricultural development of the region. The map also identifies the Rapelje Cem south of the main town site, while rural travel is facilitated by a grid of county roads such as Stagecoach Rd and Big Timber Rd, reflecting the enduring path of early Montana transit routes.
