1979 Map of Blacktail Creek NW

About this map

The Powder River meanders along the western edge of this landscape, its wide floodplain set against the rising breaks of Custer and Carter counties. During the late 1970s, this area remained primarily open rangeland, marked by a network of drainage systems including Alkali Creek, Blacktail Creek, and Little Blacktail Creek. The presence of a Flowing Well and Spring Creek in the southwest suggests the vital importance of water management in this arid environment, while a solitary Drill Hole in the south-central section points to subsurface resource exploration.
