1903 Map of Saypo

About this map

The Lewis and Clark Range dominates this 1901 survey of the Montana frontier, where the high mountain divide meets a sprawling network of family ranches on the eastern plains. Early industrial activity is concentrated near the water, with McGurk's Sawmill situated on the South Fork and a Coal Mine located along the Sun River Boundary Line. The map provides a census of early Teton County settlement through its numerous labeled homesteads, including Clark Bros Ranch, Halladay's Ranch, and Young's Ranch. To the west, the landscape is defined by the Lewis and Clark Forest Reserve, where the terrain rises toward Goat Mt. and the Continental Divide. High-altitude features like Sheep Reef and the Tie Camp reflect the region's early logging and grazing history before the development of more modern infrastructure.
