1970 Map of Ross Fork

About this map

The confluence of the Judith River and its tributary forks characterizes this 1970 landscape in central Montana. The settlement of Ross Fork serves as a small rail-side hub where the Burlington Northern line cuts across the drainage basins of Little Rock Creek and Big Rock Creek. The geography here is defined by water access and agricultural infrastructure, evidenced by numerous named springs and the presence of a Storage Bin near the northern rail line. Further southeast, the C M St P & P railroad traverses the territory near the King Colony Ranch. The inclusion of the Wild Rose Sch provides a specific point of interest for those researching local rural education history, while scattered Gravel Pits indicate the small-scale industrial activity supporting the area's development during this era.
