1965 Map of Crow Rock SE

About this map

Chalk Butte stands as a prominent topographical landmark in this 1965 field-checked survey of the Montana interior. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Wolf Creek and Crow Rock Creek carve through the terrain, meeting near the intersection of several county lines. This area represents a crossroads of local administration, showing the convergence of Garfield, Rosebud, Custer, and Prairie counties. Human presence in this open range is sparse but distinct, marked by the Fairview Sch and several remote wells. Evidence of resource exploration appears in the form of a Prospect located near the headwaters of the East Fork Creek, while Grimes Creek drains the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a moment in the mid-1960s when these rural schoolhouses and small-scale mining interests still anchored the local geography.
