1969 Map of Bailey Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Bailey Reservoir dominates the northwestern portion of this northern Montana landscape, its waters contained by a marked Spillway that feeds into the winding course of Sage Creek. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, particularly where Halfway Coulee and Schwartz Coulee cut through the high plains toward the south and east. A portion of the Rocky Boys Indian Reservation occupies the southeastern corner, reflecting the complex land management and tribal history of Hill County during the late 1960s. Rural infrastructure is sparse, characterized by scattered Well sites and a single Gravel Pit, suggesting an economy focused on ranching and water management. The survey captures a moment when fence lines and unimproved roads were the primary markers of human activity across these expansive coulees.
