1959 Map of Shambo

About this map

Beaver Creek Park dominates the central corridor of this North Central Montana landscape, marking a protected area of high ridges and deep coulees south of Havre. In the late 1950s, this region functioned as a crossroads for recreation and education, evidenced by the presence of the Shambo Springs (Kiwanis Camp) and several rural educational sites including Eagle Rock Sch and Shambo Sch. The map illustrates a complex terrain where seasonal watercourses like Bullhook Creek and Squaw Coulee carve through the foothills of the Bear Paw Mountains. To the southwest, the boundary of the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation meets the parklands, while prominent summits such as Mount Reynolds and Shambo Mtn provide significant vertical relief. Small-scale extraction and early aviation or communication infrastructure are represented by a Mine, a Prospect, and a Radio Tower near the northern boundary.
