old map of Fort Peck area

I'm looking for a map dated b4 Fort Peck Dam was built that lists towns on MO River such as Farenuf, Lismas (1st Point), 6th Point, etc. These towns are listed in my aunt Olive Ingalls Pointer's life story she wrote b4 she died. She was a teacher at Haxby and 3rd Point. These towns are now under water because of the dam. My grandfather homesteaded on the river bottom. Thanks in advance, Gordie

Dear Gordie,
I am Kay, Esther's daughter and I am now into genealogy also. I just found your post about Fort Peck and Aunt Ollie. I am going to Salt Lake City on June 16th to do research on the family. I think I have your phone number so will try and call you in MI.
Your cousin, Kay

I don't know if you have found a map by now but there is a map that was made in 1987 by the Historical Society of Valley County. The various points are on this map and also the Lismas Ferry and the Pointer place. You can contact me at timefinder9@yahoo.com if you want more information.

Thanks so much for the reply about a map of Valley County. I tried to use the e-mail you listed and it said you don't have a yahoo account. Please let me know how I can buy a map of the area. Thank you.

I'm sorry about the e-mail, it should work now.

Anyway, the map is out of print but three were recently brought into the museum and the archives are selling them. Two have been sold but there was one left as of last night. They are $10.00 and you can contact the museum at (406) 228-8692 or e-mail them at vcmuseum@nemont.net
