1979 Map of Corey Flat

About this map

Corey Flat dominates this high-plains landscape in Musselshell County during the late 1970s. This survey reveals a terrain defined by its water management and resource extraction, where numerous industrial and agricultural markers dot the valleys of Hawk Creek and Fishel Creek. The land is networked with specific borehole and well types, including a Flowing Well, the Tripod Well, and the Page Well, suggesting a reliance on subsurface aquifers for both ranching and localized mining activities. Local history and genealogy are centered near the northern boundary at the Musselshell Cem, while clusters labeled simply as Mines indicate the area's geological value. The map illustrates a rural Montana economy transitioning through the post-war era, with infrastructure like a Drill Hole pointing to energy or mineral exploration occurring alongside traditional land use.
