1955 Map of Stockett

About this map

The Malmstrom Air Force Base and the southern reaches of Great Falls define the northern edge of this mid-century landscape, where the plateau gives way to a network of deeply incised coulees. This area south of the Missouri River Basin shows a dense concentration of rural schools and small coal-mining era settlements, many of which are linked by the Great Northern railway line. The drainage of Sand Coulee Creek serves as a primary corridor for communities like Stockett, Sand Coulee, and Centerville, illustrating the historic dependency on both water and rail for regional development.
