1956 Map of Wheat Basin SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Holland Settlement Cemetery serves as a central landmark in this mid-century portrait of rural Stillwater County, where the landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage of the Yellowstone River basin. Watercourses like Struck Creek and Greenwood Creek carve through the terrain, dictating the placement of early homesteads and section lines. The presence of both Battle Butte School (Aband) and Pioneer School (Aband) indicates a shift in local education patterns, reflecting a period when small, one-room schoolhouses were being phased out in favor of centralized districts. These landmarks, along with a prominent east-west Pipeline, provide concrete evidence of the mid-20th-century transition between traditional agrarian settlement and modern infrastructure. The map also traces the North Fork Valley Creek and South Fork Valley Creek, which further illustrate the complex hydrology of this part of Montana.
