1953 Map of Teton

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Bad River carves a winding path across this portion of Stanley County, following the southern corridor where the Chicago and North Western railroad dictates the local geography. In the early 1950s, the small settlement of Teton sits as a lonely rail point near the river's bend, surrounded by a complex network of seasonal drainages including Ash Creek, Stranger Creek, and Powell Creek. The terrain is defined by sharp elevation changes and breaks, most notably at Niggeredge Canyon to the northeast and the curiously named Broken Neck Creek in the southwest. This landscape reflects the ranching and transit patterns of the Missouri River Basin development era, evidenced by isolated landmarks like a Windmill and a small Gravel Pit along the upland sections. The map reveals how the railroad and river dictated early settlement patterns in this semi-arid prairie environment.
