1958 Map of Badger Peak

About this map

The Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation Boundary bisects this landscape of Rosebud County, Montana, providing a detailed view of the terrain as it appeared during the late 1950s. The southern portion of the map is defined by the high point at Badger Peak and the nearby Skyline Road, which traverses the ridge lines above the drainage basins. Along the southern edge, the small settlement of Alderson sits near Alderson Creek, accompanied by a local Mine and Picnic Grounds, reflecting a mix of small-scale industry and community gathering points in this remote portion of the Missouri River Basin. The complex drainage network of the northern half is shaped by features like Downey Coulee and West Fork Miller Creek, while landmarks such as Charlie Black Butte and Diamond R Spring name specific corners of this high plains landscape.
