1932 Map of Red Lodge No 2

About this map

The First Standard Parallel South bisects this landscape where the Custer National Forest and a designated Game Preserve meet the agricultural drainages of the Beartooth foothills. Small rural post offices like Castagne PO, Roscoe PO, and Luther PO serve as vital hubs for a dispersed ranching community connected by a dense network of mountain streams. The distribution of neighborhood institutions is particularly striking, with a high concentration of country schools such as Tony Sch, Rudd Sch, and Weiss Sch spaced to accommodate the children of early 20th-century homesteaders. The terrain is defined by the diverging paths of West Rosebud Creek and East Rosebud Creek, while numerous smaller tributaries like Butcher Creek and Thiel Creek indicate a well-watered valley floor before it rises toward the surrounding peaks.
