1964 Map of Cow Creek

About this map

The Milk River meanders across the northern edge of this Phillips County landscape, its course flanked by the Dodson South Canal and the Point of Rocks Reservoir. This 1960s survey, conducted as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, captures a high-plains environment defined by intricate drainage patterns and water management infrastructure. Dramatic terrain features such as Rocky Point overlook the river valley, while the southern reaches are dissected by the branching waters of Cow Creek and the North Fork Mud Creek. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching and agricultural region, highlighting the importance of seasonal watercourses like Davison Coulee and localized industrial activity at a Gravel Pit.
