1951 Map of Squaw Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

High-altitude homesteads and early irrigation systems define this survey of the Gallatin National Forest as it appeared in the mid-20th century. The land use centers on the Boulder R and its tributaries, where several family-named landmarks are situated. Notable ranching and settlement sites include the Mc Kinsey Homestead, the Farnsworth Homestead (Aband), and the Seasongood Homestead (Aband). Local infrastructure is surprisingly developed for the terrain, featuring the East Boulder School and a network of water management features like Woolsey Ditch, Enos Ditch, and a Flume. To the south, the topography rises sharply toward Long Mountain, Boone Mountain, and Squaw Peak, while smaller drainages like Horse Creek and Lost Cabin Creek cut through the timbered slopes. The map provides a clear look at the frontier-style settlement pattern where isolated homesteads were built along creek beds before being abandoned to the national forest.
