1969 Map of Bentonite Flats

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Bentonite Flats dominates this portion of the Crow Indian Reservation, a landscape defined by the drainage network of Big Woody Creek and its tributary, Little Woody Creek. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a sparsely settled region where land use is marked by scattered infrastructure and water management. To the south, Beauvais Creek cuts through the terrain near a landmark simply labeled Custer and a modern Radio Tower. The presence of a Flowing Well and several Drill Hole sites suggests the importance of water access and geological exploration in this part of Big Horn County. This map provides a clear record of the reservation's topography and hydrology before significant modern developments, capturing the character of the Montana plains during this era.
