1960 Map of Chimney Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Two Leggins Canal traces the eastern edge of this landscape, marking a vital water-management boundary for Big Horn County agriculture in the early 1960s. The terrain is defined by an intricate system of drainages, including the expansive Lone Tree Coulee and the divergent branches of North Fork and South Fork Whitman Coulee. These features illustrate the natural erosion patterns of the Missouri River Basin, where Chimney Creek cuts through the northern sections of the survey. Human modification is evident in localized sites like the Gravel Pit and the recreational grounds of the Ft Custer Country Club Golf Course. The map serves as a record of the area's hydrology and land-use divisions during a period of steady development overseen by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
