1981 Map of Carlyle NW

About this map

Beaver Creek and its southern drainage, East Fork Beaver Creek, shape the rolling landscape along the border of Wibaux and Fallon counties in eastern Montana. This 1981 survey documents a sparsely populated rangeland characterized by intermittent watercourses like Lone Tree Creek and Rattlesnake Creek. Modern industrial activity is evidenced by an extensive Pipeline that traverses the central terrain and a Gravel Pit located near the southern boundary. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for numerous wells scattered throughout the hills, reflecting the region's historical reliance on groundwater for livestock and remote homesteads. The convergence of Ash Creek with larger drainage systems highlights the topographic complexity of this high plains environment during the late twentieth century.
