1973 Map of Bug Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Range dominates this portion of McCone County, showcasing the dramatic intersection of the Missouri River Basin’s reservoir system and the high plains. Surveyed as part of a development program for the basin, the map highlights the intricate shoreline of the Fort Peck Lake reservoir, specifically the Bug Creek Bay and the Dry Arm. The terrain rises from these waters to landmarks like Lonnies Bench and the Bonin Divide, reflecting a landscape managed for both water conservation and wildlife habitat. Small-scale engineering is evident through the Nomland Dam and John Ball Dam, which manage runoff in a network of coulees including Black Spring Coulee and Lone Tree Coulee. This 1970s record captures the region's character as a specialized conservation and water management zone, marked by isolated landing strips and a sparse network of jeep trails.
