1966 Map of Skaar NW

About this map

Lindberg Hill rises above the high plains of Eastern Montana in this mid-1960s survey of the borderlands between Richland and Wibaux counties. This landscape is defined by the drainages of Shadwell Creek, Elm Coulee, and Smith Creek, which cut through the undulating terrain near the North Dakota State Line. The map reveals a sparse, rural pattern of settlement typical of the Missouri River Basin development era, where isolated resources and education centers like the Clark Sch served widely scattered ranching or farming families. Numerous Well sites and Gravel Pits indicate the localized industrial and agricultural activity supporting the region's economy at the time of the 1966 field check.
