About this map

The small settlement of Saint Onge serves as the focal point of this 1954 survey, situated where the Chicago and North Western railway cuts across the Lawrence and Butte county line. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of False Bottom Creek and Stinkingwater Creek, which meander through a region of prominent elevations like Saint Onge Peak and Baldy Peak.

This era of the mid-1950s captures the rural infrastructure of the Black Hills foothills, including the Saint Onge Cem and local educational landmarks like Middle False Bottom Sch and Ashby Sch. The presence of numerous bridges, such as BR 3460 and BR 3580, highlights the critical crossings required for the local road network to navigate the many seasonal watercourses like Maloney Creek and Crow Creek.
