1956 Map of The Big Slide

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The dramatic geological feature known as 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 drainages including Elbow Creek, Cherry Creek, and Cedar Creek. Local infrastructure is sparse, characterized primarily by the Loyning Sch and an early pipeline corridor, reflecting the rural and industrial evolution of the region in the 1950s. The topography transitions from the high elevations of the northwest down toward the Dry Creek Basin and the meandering Sand Creek in the southeast. Named landmarks like Gramps and Chappel Cr provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the settlement patterns of this Montana terrain.
