1980 Map of Broadus
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The Powder River carves a deep path through this corner of southeastern Montana and northern Wyoming, anchoring a landscape of isolated ranching settlements and expansive grazing lands. The town of Broadus serves as the primary hub at the junction of US Highway 212 and Montana 59, supported by the nearby Broadus Airport. This 1980 survey illustrates the remote character of Powder River County, where small outposts like Biddle, Moorhead, and Boyes dot the drainage basins. To the west, the evergreen-covered ridges of the Custer National Forest contrast with the rugged badlands and distinctive landmarks such as Bear Skull Mountain and Threemile Buttes. Local industry and land use are evidenced by the Two Tree Mine and the extensive network of draws and creeks like North Fork Pumpkin Creek and Mizpah Creek that define the regional geography.
