1980 Map of Birney
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Large-scale resource extraction and rural settlement patterns define this section of Big Horn and Rosebud counties during the 1980s. The landscape is dominated by massive industrial footprints such as the Spring Creek Mine, West Decker Mine, and Tongue River Mine, signaling the era’s significant coal mining operations near the Wyoming border. These industrial sites contrast with the sparsely populated ranching and forest lands to the north, where small communities like Birney and Quietus persist alongside the Birney Day School.
