1958 Map of Busby

About this map

Busby serves as the focal point of this 1950s survey within the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, where the community is anchored by the Busby Boarding Sch and the Busby Cem. A notable Historical Monument commemorating Indian Chief Two Moons stands nearby, marking the intersection of local heritage and the landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, including Rosebud Creek, Porcupine Creek, and Teeth Creek, which carve through the high ground of Red Hill and Busby Butte. Evidence of early resource extraction and water management is visible through the Busby Mine, several Gravel Pits, and the Government Ditch. The geography is characterized by numerous seasonal and perennial forks, such as Little Hawk Creek and Deafy Creek, illustrating the complex watershed of Big Horn County during this era.
