1971 Map of Cabin Creek NE

About this map

The Powder River carves a significant course through this borderland region where Montana and Wyoming meet, creating a landscape defined by deep drainages and industrial expansion. During the early 1970s, the energy economy is clearly visible through the development of the Fence Creek Oil Field and numerous drill holes scattered across the high ground between Fence Creek and Little Remington Creek. This era of exploration is balanced by the persistence of traditional landmarks, including the rugged Hells Half Acre Canyon and the winding paths of Big Remington Creek. Geopolitically, the map provides a precise look at the intersecting boundaries of Powder River, Sheridan, and Campbell counties, illustrating how these administrative lines follow the high ridges above Cabin Creek and Clear Creek.
