1951 Map of Vale

About this map

Whitewood Creek and Ninemile Creek carve through the landscape of the Butte and Meade County border in this mid-century survey. The small settlement of Vale serves as the local hub, situated near the Chicago and North Western rail line and the Vale Cemetery. This area represents a post-war ranching and agricultural community where education was localized at sites like Farview School and Cottonwood School, while the Riggs School (Abandoned) suggests early shifts in the rural population.
