About this map

Ranching life across the Stillwater and Carbon County line is meticulously documented in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by family-named holdings and essential community landmarks, such as the Upper Whitebird Sch and the Joe Hill Creek Sch, which served the isolated homesteads scattered through the foothills. A prominent Pipeline cuts across the northern terrain, indicating the encroachment of modern energy infrastructure into this rural Montana environment.

Water management is central to the area's viability, evidenced by Canal S and the network of drainages including Whitebird Creek, Lodge Red Creek, and Volney Creek. For genealogists, the map is a primary record of specific homestead locations, including the Walter Korpela Ranch, Kamppinen Ranch, and several others belonging to the Hoiness and Korpela families, along with a solitary Cemetery near the West Fork Creek.
