$47

First published in 1892, this Stillwater sheet was printed in 1932 and survives in good condition, lightly handled and never folded on thick stock. The 30-minute quad takes in country west of Billings around Columbus, with Absarokee and Rapelje within its boundaries, and includes parts of the Hailstone and Halfbreed Lake National Wildlife Refuges. Based on an 1889 field survey under geographer A.H. Thompson, it predates the modern highway system and records the older travel corridors, rail lines, river ferries, and placenames of south-central Montana.

The Stillwater 30-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1889.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the USGS 30-minute series have been out of print for many years. They have never been common and original prints are increasingly difficult to find. For areas where the 30-minute map was produced, it is usually the first large-scale survey done by the USGS for that area. These are a valuable historical record, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent series’ and editions.
