1901 Map of Rosebud

About this map

The Little Big Horn River valley anchors this 1890s reconnaissance survey, illustrating the early settlement patterns of Rosebud County before the turn of the century. The Burlington and Missouri River R. R. runs parallel to the river, connecting a series of small outposts and family holdings such as Sand Hills Ranch, Fortymile Ranch, and Hams Ranch. The landscape is dominated by the Wolf Mountains in the central and eastern portions, where numerous drainages like Rosebud Creek and Corral Creek carve through the high terrain.
