1971 Map of Colstrip SE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Industrial activity defines the northern landscape of this Rosebud County survey, dominated by a massive Strip Mine and its accompanying infrastructure. The Burlington Northern railroad winds through the terrain, serving the extraction sites and connecting the remote coulees to wider markets. The transition from industrial earthmoving to the traditional ranching landscape is evident as the map moves south toward Rosebud Creek. In this rural expanse, the Lee Cem stands as a quiet marker of local genealogy near the winding drainage of Lee Coulee. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of seasonal watercourses including Miller Coulee and Hay Coulee, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that dictate movement and settlement in this part of Montana.
