2020 Map of Upper Cracker Box School

About this map

Upper Cracker Box School (Historical) stands as a primary historical landmark in this corner of Dawson County, reflecting the early educational framework of rural Montana. This 2020 edition documents the drainage patterns and township divisions across a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses. The drainage of Cracker Box Cr and its N Fork Cracker Box Cr branch dominate the southern half of the map, while the northern sections are carved by Clear Cr and N Br Clear Cr. The presence of these named creeks alongside the historical school site offers a clear view of how early homesteading and social infrastructure were tethered to the local hydrography. The terrain is further navigated by county routes such as Rd 238 and Rd 229, providing a modern grid over the traditional land divisions of T15N and T16N.
