1905 Map of Saco Special

About this map

Larb Hills rise sharply south of the meandering Milk River in this 1903 survey, revealing a landscape defined by ranching and the arrival of the railroad. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainage systems like First Creek, Second Creek, and Third Creek, which flow toward the Beaver Creek valley. While Saco and Beaverton serve as the primary hubs along the Great Northern R. R., the rural social fabric is composed of numerous family-named landmarks including Taylor's Ranch, Abel's Ranch, and Whitfords Ranch.
