About this map

The unincorporated coal mining community of Stockett is the focal point of this 1960s topographic record, centered among the steep coulees and tablelands of Cascade County. The landscape is heavily marked by the region's industrial heritage, featuring numerous Mine Dumps, a Prospect, and the Sabzin Mine. These features illustrate the subsurface exploitation of the local coal seams during the mid-20th century.

Rural infrastructure is scattered across the plateau, from the Selstrom Sch to family-named landmarks like the Dutch Bench and Creamery Hill. High-relief drainage patterns are defined by Cottonwood Creek and a network of deep-cut draws including Sand Coulee and Mining Coulee. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of the Red Butte Cem and Cottonwood Cem, providing a precise look at the community's footprint before late-century changes.
