1972 Map of Stranahan SE

About this map

Chouteau County's landscape in the early 1970s is characterized by the intricate drainage systems that carve through the high plains. Extensive branching ravines like Crow Coulee and Rowe Coulee define the local topography, influencing how roads and land boundaries were established across the Montana countryside. This 1972 field-checked survey reveals a sparsely populated area where large-scale ranching or agricultural operations are supported by remote infrastructure, including a secluded Landing Strip in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. For those tracing local family history or land ownership in this region, Clear Lake Cemetery serves as a significant genealogical marker amidst the section lines and coulees.
