This 1899 map shows the railroad stops along the Great Northern Railroad in north central Montana. Upper center in the photo, circled, is the Sweet Grass Hills area. Prior to the approving of the Whitlash Post Office many residents of the Hills had their mail addressed to Havre where a railroad employee would drop it at the Colburn siding (also circled), necessitating a 20-40 mile trip to pick up mail. When the Whitlash Post Office was approved it became the first 'inland post office' for mail headed north from Fort Benton.
