1974 Map of Blacktail Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Blacktail Lake serves as a central recreational landmark in this 1970s landscape of Williams County, featuring a lakeside Campground and golf course. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of the Little Muddy River, which draws from smaller tributaries like Heidemann Coulee and Blacktail Creek. The map documents a sparsely populated rural landscape where section lines organize the prairie, revealing small localized points of interest like the settlement of Marmon in the southern reaches. Local history and genealogy are preserved through the locations of Bethel Cem and Faith Cem, which sit atop the rolling uplands. Numerous Well sites and Gravel Pits scattered throughout the townships of Ortell, Winner, Blacktail, and Athens indicate the region's reliance on groundwater and resource extraction during this era.
