1892 Map of Stillwater

About this map

The Yellowstone River and Stillwater River define this 1889 survey, where the Northern Pacific Railroad traces the northern bank during the late nineteenth-century expansion into Montana. This landscape is a mix of high plateau and river valley, featuring the vast Lake Basin to the north and the northern boundary of the Crow Indian Reservation to the south. Small settlements like Stillwater and Merrill serve as focal points along the rail line, supported by river crossings such as a Ferry and a Ford at low water near Youngs Point.
