1979 Map of Deer Creek Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Powder River carves through the northwestern corner of this 1970s landscape in Montana, a region defined by extensive drainage networks and high-country landmarks. The eponymous Deer Creek Buttes dominate the central terrain, serving as a primary navigational point for the surrounding cattle country. Transport in this period was facilitated by the Powerville Road and a notable Landing Strip located near Deer Creek, illustrating how aviation and gravel roads connected these remote rangelands. Numerous watercourses, such as the North Fork Horse Creek and South Fork Horse Creek, illustrate the complex hydrology of the Powder River Basin. Resource exploration is evident through several marked drill holes, while the inclusion of the Poker Jim Creek and Little Pilgrim Creek drainages provides fine-grained detail for land researchers and genealogists tracing historical property lines and water rights in this corner of Big Sky Country.
