1983 Map of Vaughn NE

About this map

Neuman School stands as a primary landmark in this rural landscape of North Central Montana, where the boundary between Teton Co and Cascade Co divides the high plains. The terrain is characterized by the wide, open expanse of the Flat, a name that reflects the plateau's topography north of the Sun River valley. Infrastructure for water and energy is prominent, with an Aqueduct and a Pipeline cutting across the survey area, tracing the movement of resources through this sparse agricultural region. The drainage of Lake Creek and its associated seasonal Lake provide the primary hydrologic features, marking natural depressions in an otherwise consistent upland environment. This map illustrates the intersection of mid-century infrastructure and traditional rural schooling at a time when small country schoolhouses still punctuated the prairie landscape.
