1967 Map of Bull Mountain

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide, braided path through this terrain, defining the northern boundary of the Bull Mountain area. This landscape is characterized by the complex irrigation network of the Waco Custer Canal and numerous seasonal drainages like Hibbard Creek and Rough Coulee. In the mid-1960s, human activity centered on the riverbanks and the Main Huntley corridor, where a Pumping Sta and a Landing Strip indicate the infrastructure necessary for managing this semi-arid region. Small-scale industrial traces, such as a Gravel Pit near the river, sit alongside natural features like Randalls Island. The topography transitions from the alluvial flats near Spring Creek to the dissected uplands of the Bull Mountain quadrangle, reflecting a landscape shaped by both water management and traditional ranching access.
