1966 Map of Stacey

About this map

Custer National Forest dominates this mid-1960s terrain, where the high-plains landscape is defined by a dense network of seasonal draws and springs essential for livestock and forestry. The small community of Stacey sits along the eastern edge of the quadrangle near Little Pumpkin Creek, serving as a focal point for local families whose children attended the nearby South Stacey Sch. Evidence of federal land management and recreational use is clear, with the Whitetail Ranger Sta, the Holiday Campground, and the Liscom Lookout atop Liscom Butte all situated to monitor and maintain these wooded ridges. The presence of a single Oil Well in the southwest suggests early industrial exploration, while numerous named water sources like Split Rock Spring and Bottom Crib Spring reflect the vital importance of water rights in this part of Montana.
