This collection is a subgroup
(Board) of the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation records, RS
496. Please see the primary finding aid for more Montana Department of
Natural Resources and Conservation records. Records of Montana Board of Land
Commissioners, and its administrative arm the Register of State Lands, consist of general
correspondence of several state land agents, court papers, U.S. General Land Office land
selection receipts, applications for lieu selections and purchases, assorted leases,
scattered minutes, reports, subject files, and miscellany.

The Montana Board of Land Commissioners was authorized by the Montana Constitution of 1889
to administer the lands set aside by the federal government for the support of the state's
public schools. Over 500,000 acres of land was earmarked for the support of public schools
and lesser amounts to support the various segments of the University System, the State
Reform School, the State Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and the Capitol Building. The duties of the
Board were formalized by an act of the 1891 Legislature, which also established the office
of the State Land Agent. The Land Agent, under the direction of the Board, was given the
right to select lands "in lieu of" lands already taken for homesteads, mining claims, Indian
Reservations, and railroad grants. State lands were divided into three categories:
agricultural land which was to be sold to homesteaders, grazing land which could either be
leased or sold to ranchers, and forest land which was to be retained by the state for
protection of watershed and for on-going income from the sale of timber. Some of these
forest lands were in large blocks which became the basis for several state forests including
the Swan River State Forest and the Stillwater State Forest.
In 1895, the office of Register of State Lands was created as the administrative arm of the
Board to manage the state lands. After 1909, the state forest lands were administered by the
State Forester and the State Board of Forestry, under the Board of Land Commissioners. The
new agency was given the authority to administer the state's forest lands, to fight forest
fires, and teach classes at the State University. The 1909 law also established procedures
for evaluating state timber lands, administering timber sales, arranging for brush removal,
protection of watersheds, and other administrative tasks. State Land Agents included
Granville Stuart (1891-1893), R.O. Hickman (1893-1894), J.M. Page (1895-1897), Henry Neill
(1897-1910), and C.A. Whipple (1911-1914). State Foresters included Charles Jungberg
(1910-1914), and John C. VanHook (1914-1921). In 1927, the Department of State Land and
Investments took over the functions of the Register of State Lands, and the Board of
Forestry became independent.
As of 2024, DNRC is made up of the following Divisions: Director’s Office, Conservation and
Resource Development Division, Forestry-Trust Lands Division, and Water Resources Division.
Additionally, nine boards and commissions are attached to the Department. Six of them—the
Board of Land Commissioners, Reserved Water Rights Compact Commission, Board of Oil and Gas
Conservation, Board of Water Well Contractors, Flathead Basin Commission, and Montana Grass
Conservation Commission—have decision-making authority. The other three—the Resource
Conservation Advisory Council, Rangeland Resources Committee, and Drought Advisory
Committee—act in an advisory capacity only.
Records include general correspondence (1891-1914) of State Land Agents and State
Foresters concerning evaluation of lands, the selection of lieu lands, negotiations with the
federal government, sales of land, and management concerns. Financial records include an
audit of the Register of State Lands (1909) and receipts for state land selections
(1908-1913 arranged by district U.S. Land Office). Legal documents include applications for
lieu selections (1910-1911 arranged by county), applications for purchase (1909-1913
arranged by county), leases of agricultural, grazing, oil and gas, and other lands
(1892-1922), expirations of leases (1903-1912), and timber permits (1902). There are also
minutes (1893-1909); annual reports (1901, 1913-1924) of the Register of State Lands; and
subject files on Capital Building bonds, forest fires of 1910, pine bark beetle, and the Red
Rock Lake Irrigation Project. A final segment of the records, labelled Miscellany, consists
of testimony in a legislative investigation of the Board of Land Commissioners (1909), and
land lists, plat books, and tract books (all arranged by location).
This collection is arranged by series.

In 2024, the various collections of the Montana Department of Natural Resources and
Conservation were integrated under one collection identifier, RS 496, in order to help
facilitate access, reduce redundancy in the MTHS catalog, and to follow best archival
practices.
Collections from Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation's various
Divisions and Bureaus that were previously treated as separate entities are now integrated
into this collection, RS 496. Rather than reprocessing over 280
linear feet of DNRC materials, MTHS staff decided to keep the past arrangement of those
collections/finding aids, and provide access to them via links through the central finding
aid. This decision has allowed the MTHS archival staff to maintain intellectual control over
the collection, while removing the need to reprocess it. It also keeps State Agency finding
aids at manageable sizes. Please read the scope and content note carefully to determine if
this subgroup/sub-subgroup pertains to your research needs.
