About this map

The county seat of White Sulphur Springs is the focal point of this 1971 survey, where the White Sulphur Springs and Yellowstone Park Railway terminates near the town's western edge. This rail connection and the presence of the Mill Siding reflect the local industry, while the Rodeo Ground and the White Sulphur Springs Airport mark the community's mid-century expansion. The town is flanked by the Park Hills to the north and the winding Smith River to the southwest, creating a distinct geographic profile for the era.

Evidence of the local ranching and agricultural economy is found in features like Douglas Studs and the family-named Mayn Cem. Water management is prominent across the landscape, from the Aqueduct entering town from the east to the numerous designated wells and creek forks like Hot Springs Creek and Lone Willow Creek. Smaller-scale operations are also noted, such as a Moly mine site and an Airway Beacon to the south, highlighting the varied infrastructure supporting this Montana interior settlement.
