1981 Map of Alzada
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The Missouri River and its numerous tributaries, including Ninemile Creek and Boxelder Creek, dominate this tri-state borderland where Montana, South Dakota, and Wyoming converge. In the early 1980s, the landscape is defined by vast rangelands punctuated by dramatic topographic features like the Flattops, Finger Buttes, and Potato Buttes. Small ranching hubs and outposts such as Alzada, Albion, and Hammond serve as focal points for this sparsely populated region, connected by Highway 212. The presence of Claypits near the southern border and various private Landing Strips and the Sky Ranch illustrate the localized industrial and aviation needs of remote high-plains life. Local water management is evident through features like Cochran Reservoir and Philippi Reservoir, which are vital for livestock in a terrain shaped by deep draws and intermittent creeks.
