1956 Map of The Big Slide

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The dramatic geological formation of The Big Slide anchors this mid-century survey of the Carbon County landscape. Situated within the Missouri River Basin development program, the area is defined by a dendritic network of drainage systems including Elbow Creek, Sand Creek, and Cherry Creek. While largely focused on the complex topography of the Dry Creek Basin, the map records essential local landmarks of the 1950s rural infrastructure, most notably the Loyning Sch. A significant Pipeline traverses the southern reaches of the quadrangle, signaling the industrial activity present in this part of Montana during the era. The presence of isolated tanks and family-named watercourses like Gramps Creek provides specific points of interest for those researching the historical land use and early school district locations in this region.
