1995 Map of Bloom Creek

About this map

Custer National Forest defines the high-country landscape of this Powder River County map, showcasing the water management strategies utilized in the Montana ranching country during the late 20th century. The topography is marked by numerous man-made catchments, including Rimrock Reservoir, Bull Reservoir, and Swope Reservoir, which captured seasonal runoff to support livestock and land use. These features are dispersed across the drainages of Bloom Creek and Plum Creek, illustrating the vital connection between elevation and water access in the arid West.
