About this map

The Bearpaw Mountains dominate this 1959 survey of North-Central Montana, where high-altitude peaks and deep coulees define the landscape across the borders of Hill, Chouteau, and Blaine counties. Much of the northern terrain is occupied by the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation, featuring prominent summits like Baldy Mtn and Moses Mtn. A scattering of human enterprise is visible at the Silver King Mine and the Parker Sch in the northwest.

The settlement of Warrick serves as a lone hub in the central valley near Birch Creek, while the surrounding territory is marked by distinctive geological formations such as Haystack Butte and Rattlesnake Butte. The complex drainage network of Beaver Creek, Eagle Creek, and Sandy Creek illustrates the intricate watershed of this high prairie country, supporting isolated ranches and agricultural interests during the late 1950s.
