1960 Map of Brown Coulee

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The semi-arid landscape of Rosebud County is defined here by a network of drainage channels and small-scale ranching developments. Surveyed as part of the Department of the Interior's efforts for the Missouri River Basin development, the map showcases the critical importance of water management in eastern Montana. A series of impoundments, including Brown Coulee Reservoir and Blacktail Reservoir, catch seasonal runoff from the surrounding uplands. These reservoirs, marked by specific elevations like Spillway 2807, provided vital water sources for the cattle operations that anchored the local economy.
