1983 Map of Beery Reservoir

About this map

Beery Reservoir serves as a focal point in this 1983 study of the rural McCone County landscape. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of drainages, most notably the seasonal courses of Wolf Creek, Hay Creek, and Cow Creek. This provisional survey, produced from manuscript drawings, documents the quiet infrastructure of the Montana plains, featuring a long Pipeline cutting across the southwestern quadrant and a local Gravel Pit indicative of small-scale land use. Local history interest is centered on a small Cem located in the northern portion of the map, marking a point of genealogical significance in an area otherwise characterized by its agricultural and hydrological patterns. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and topography just before modern GIS mapping standardized the region's cartography.
