1970 Map of Big Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Dry Wolf Creek and Sage Creek weave through this section of the Montana high plains during the early 1970s, marking a landscape defined by sharp coulees and intermittent drainage. The boundary between Fergus Co and Judith Basin Co bisects the northern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the political geography of this sparsely settled ranching and agricultural region. Mapping from 1968 aerial photography reveals a terrain where water management is vital, evidenced by the presence of a Well and a small Pond amid the drainage systems of Big Spring Coulee, Indian Creek, and Squaw Creek. The network of unimproved roads and benchlands highlights the practical navigation required for land use in this part of central Montana before more modern infrastructure changes.
