1910 Map of Cuskers

About this map

The Fort Peck Indian Reservation dominates this landscape in northeastern Montana, surveyed by the General Land Office just after the turn of the century. The terrain is characterized by the winding course of the Poplar River in the northeast and a network of drainages including Boxelder Creek and East Branch Chelsea Creek to the south. Human presence is sparse on this 1910 sheet, with Cuskers House serving as a primary landmark in the river valley. The topography reveals a complex system of coulees and ridges typical of the Missouri Plateau, offering a clear record of the area's geography before significant 20th-century development. Genealogists and historians can trace the early allotment-era layout of the reservation and the specific locations of early habitations in this corner of Sheridan County.
