1949 Map of Timber Coulee

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Teton River meanders through this High Plains landscape, marking a deep incision between the high flats of Chouteau, Teton, and Pondera counties. In the years following World War II, this region remained a patchwork of dryland farming and ranching, evidenced by the distribution of rural civic life. The presence of several one-room schoolhouses, including Aznoe School, Diamond Valley School, Promised Land School, and Pleasant View School, suggests a localized social structure before the consolidation of rural districts. The Jensen Elevator and the Hilltop Silo stand as landmarks of the grain economy, while the Knee Church and a small Cem provide a record of early community centers. Transportation is defined by a network of winding coulees, such as Timber Coulee and Spencer Coulee, and historic routes like the Bootlegger Trail, reflecting a time when river crossings like Woods Crossing Ford and Shannon Bridge were critical nodes for local travel.
