1948 Map of Sixteen

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Sixteenmile Creek carves a critical corridor through the mountainous terrain at the border of Meagher and Gallatin counties. The remote settlement of Sixteen sits at the junction of the creek and rail lines, serving as a rare point of habitation in a landscape otherwise dominated by the Gallatin National Forest. This 1948 survey, photorevised in 1980, captures the area during a period of transition in the Missouri River Basin development program. The topography is defined by the heavy drainage patterns of Meadow Creek and Battle Creek, which feed into the primary waterway. Local ranching history is evidenced by Robertson Ranch near the northwestern edge, providing a focal point for genealogical research in this sparsely populated region where the National Forest Boundary separates private holdings from public timberlands.
