1960 Map of Eldering Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Yellowstone River flows along the northern edge of this Treasure County landscape, defining the local topography as it was documented in 1960. The Northern Pacific railroad tracks parallel the riverbank, providing a critical transportation link through this ranching territory. Away from the water, the terrain is characterized by a complex network of drainages and coulees, including Buckingham Coulee and Jacobs Coulee, which cut through the high ground. Central to the map is the eponymous Eldering Ranch, a primary site of settlement in this part of the Missouri River Basin. The presence of numerous springs, such as the one near Jacobs Coulee, and named watercourses like Forty-four Creek and Alkali Creek, indicates the vital importance of water resources to the local economy and land use during this era.
