1948 Map of Sixteen

About this map

Sixteenmile Creek defines the northern corridor of this 1948 survey, serving as the primary passage for the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, also known as the Milwaukee Road. The settlement of Sixteen sits at the junction of the creek and the rail line, marking a pocket of human activity in a region dominated by the high topography of the Gallatin National Forest. To the south, the prominent spine of Elkhorn Ridge rises between drainage systems like Indian Creek and Meadow Creek, illustrating the complex watershed that flows toward the Missouri River Basin.
