1967 Map of Deep Creek

About this map

Pryor Creek and Deep Creek carve through the high plains of the Crow Reservation boundary, where the line between Yellowstone and Big Horn counties meets. The landscape is defined by its drainage network, featuring uniquely named watercourses such as Smallpox Creek, Porcupine Creek, and the seasonal flow of Fourth of July Creek. A small Cem and a nearby Claypit near the northern boundary indicate localized historical activity, while a prominent Pipeline corridor cuts across the northern ridges. This 1967 survey, with revisions added in 1980, captures a rugged transition of the Montana range before modern development, marking the confluence of several essential creek systems including Hay Creek and Cottonwood Creek.
