About this map

The Blackfeet Agency and the town of Browning serve as the focal point of this Blackfeet Indian Reservation landscape during the late 1960s. This survey detail captures the intersection of tribal government, transportation, and community life, featuring the Burlington Northern railroad corridor and its associated depot and Browning Station. Local infrastructure is well-documented, from the Rodeo Ground and Museum to the Border Patrol Hdqrs and a local landing strip.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named landmarks and tribal sites, including Birdrattler Cem, Earring Cem, and Willow Creek Cem. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Cut Bank Creek and Willow Creek, with the smaller settlement of Durham and the Starr School appearing in the outlying areas. Numerous springs and the prominent Hidden Lake to the northwest highlight the vital water resources of the region.
