1956 Map of Work Creek

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts across the northern edge of this Sweet Grass landscape, where the Northern Pacific railroad follows the river's southern bank through the small settlement of Quebec. This mid-century survey captures a high-plateau environment defined by deep drainage systems like Bridger Creek and Work Creek, which have carved out distinctive features such as The Greycliffs. Local history and genealogy are anchored at the Kent Sch and nearby Kent Cem. Perhaps most notable for historians is the marking of the Bozeman Trail, which traverses the southern hills, and the Thomas Massacre Graves (Historical), providing a rare cartographic record of the region's frontier era. The terrain is further detailed by numerous named draws including Norwegian Gulch, Curtis Gulch, and Tom Benson Gulch, reflecting the area's pioneer heritage.
