1962 Map of Rose Crossing

About this map

The Whitefish River and Stillwater River dominate this portion of Flathead County, carving distinct paths through the valley floor. To the west, the heavy timber of the Stillwater State Forest contrasts with the developed eastern plains where agricultural and civic life thrived in the early 1960s. This survey reveals a community anchored by several rural educational centers, including Pine Grove Sch and Halfmoon Sch, alongside the Midway Grange hall. The landscape is further defined by its infrastructure, from the Glacier Park International Airport to the concentrated settlement at Rose Crossing. The mapping highlights the transition from natural riparian corridors to managed resource areas, evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits and the Trinity Cem located near the southern boundary.
