1951 Map of Springdale
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Yellowstone River and its northern irrigation network anchor this 1951 survey, where the Hunters Hot Springs Canal and numerous flumes supported agricultural operations near the Springdale rail stop. This landscape is a detailed record of high-plains homesteading and ranching, tracing family names across both sides of the Park Co Sweet Grass Co boundary. Settlers such as the Olson Homestead, Swanson Homestead, and Mason Homestead are marked across the drainages of Hunters Creek and Chicken Creek. The presence of the Hash Homestead (Aban'd) near Mendenhall suggests the changing patterns of habitation as the 20th century progressed. To the south, the terrain rises toward the Rim and the West Boulder River, where a Coal Mine indicates the small-scale industrial activity once present in these foothills.
