1983 Map of Duplisse Creek North

About this map

Candee Pond and Fatzinger Reservoir serve as central landmarks in this high-plains landscape of Richland County, where water management defines the local topography. This 1983 provisional survey highlights the intricate drainage network that feeds into the East Redwater Creek and Duplisse Creek systems. The map detail illustrates the reliance on localized water storage in an area characterized by numerous intermittent drainages such as Second Creek, Deep Creek, and Muskrat Creek. For researchers and historians, the naming of specific reservoirs and ponds provides evidence of land use and family-named landmarks in this part of Montana during the early 1980s. The arrangement of Grass Creek and Long Grass Creek further reveals the natural flow patterns and topographic contours that dictated the placement of agricultural infrastructure.
