1970 Map of Bear Skull Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Bear Skull Mountain dominates this portion of southeastern Montana, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage basins. The map illustrates the convergence of numerous seasonal watercourses, including Baking Powder Creek and Allison Creek to the north, which flow through deeply eroded draws. This terrain is characterized by the divide between the North Fork and South Fork of Little Bear Skull Creek, highlighting the importance of water management in this arid grazing country. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is sparse but present, noted by scattered Gravel Pits and a solitary Well, indicating the essential role of resource extraction and water access for ranching operations. The mapping also delineates the township and range boundaries that organized the land for settlement, such as the line between Township 7 South and Township 8 South.
