1901 Map of Rosebud

USGS Topo · Published 1917

About this map

The Wolf Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this early twentieth-century survey, casting a topographical shadow over the river valley to the west. This territory, centered on the Little Horn River, was a corridor of transition where ranching and early rail infrastructure converged. The Burlington and Missouri River R. R. and the North Wyoming R. R. follow the river's path, connecting small rail stops and homesteads across the Montana Wyoming Boundary Line. Scattered throughout the valley are early ranching outposts such as Sand Hills Ranch, Fortymile Ranch, and Hams Ranch, representing the pioneering agricultural footprint in Rosebud County. These settlements, including Lodgegrass and Wyola, illustrate the reliance on both water and rail as lifelines for commerce and travel at the turn of the century.
