1954 Map of Carter Coulee

About this map

The Missouri River dominates the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, flanked by a series of alluvial flats including White Bottoms, Mauland Bottoms, and Doney Bottoms. These lowlands transitioned quickly into the protected lands of the Fort Peck Game Range, a landscape defined by an intricate network of coulees and ridges. Ranching life is documented through established sites like the Roma White Ranch and Mauland Ranch near the river, while the presence of the Little Crooked Creek Sch (Aband) further south suggests an earlier era of rural community that had already begun to fade by the 1950s.
