1956 Map of Roscoe NW

About this map

Rosebud Creek and its tributaries carve through the Montana landscape at the Stillwater and Carbon County line, defining a region of high benches and deep water-carved valleys. The 1956 field check reveals a community anchored by the Rosebud Community Center and the Reverend Madison Historical Monument, located near the confluence where West Rosebud Creek joins the main flow. The topography is dominated by broad plateaus like Coleman Bench and rising features such as Yancey Hill, while the valley floors are marked by essential water management infrastructure, including a Siphon, Flume, and Gaging Sta. This map details a ranching and rural landscape where local landmarks like Smith Bridge and several unnamed cemeteries provide critical points of reference for genealogists and local historians studying the mid-century settlement patterns of the Beartooth foothills.
