1979 Map of Corey Flat

About this map

The high plateau of Corey Flat dominates this 1970s Musselshell County landscape, revealing an era of intense resource extraction and rural land management. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Fishel Creek and Hawk Creek, where numerous water and industrial points are documented. Insights into the region's energy development are evident through the distribution of several Well sites, a Flowing Well, and specific industrial locations like the Mines and the Page Well. Near Tripod Hill, the map shows a network of springs and unpaved roads, illustrating how land use in this part of Montana was dictated by the availability of water and the requirements of subsurface exploration.
