1971 Map of Crain Place

About this map

Crain Place sits within a network of drainage basins in Rosebud County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Eagle Creek and its many tributaries. This 1971 field-checked survey reveals a ranching and resource-driven environment, characterized by seasonal water sources such as Barrot Spring and Spring Creek. The terrain is etched with a Jeep Trail and several unimproved roads that navigate between the creek beds, including Cottonwood Creek in the north and Goodman Creek in the south. An isolated Drill Hole in the southern section suggests the area's history of mineral or geological exploration. The presence of Twelvemile Creek and Beaver Creek further illustrates the complex watershed system that supported the remote operations of this Montana rangeland during the early 1970s.
