1971 Map of Cabin Creek NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Montana-Wyoming border cuts across the northern edge of this landscape, where the high plains transition into the drainage systems of the Powder River Basin. The topography is defined by an intricate network of seasonal watercourses and draws, including Sawmill Draw, Tanney Draw, and Green Draw, which underscore the historical importance of water management in this arid grazing country. Evidence of resource exploration is scattered across the sheet in the form of several Drill Holes, marking the industrial footprint of the early 1970s. The drainage of Cabin Creek dominates the central portion of the map, while prominent landmarks like Squaw Butte provide navigational anchors in a terrain otherwise characterized by its undulating ridges. Named branches such as Schoolhouse Prong and West Prong Seventysix Creek hint at earlier settlement patterns and local nomenclature from the ranching era.
