1966 Map of Elk Basin NW

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Silver Tip Oil Field dominates this high-plains landscape along the border of Montana and Wyoming. Mapped in the mid-1960s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of unimproved roads and numerous Drill Holes, signaling the intense energy exploration of the era. The land slopes sharply from the prominent Polecat Bench in the southeast, where seasonal drainages like Silver Tip Creek and the Big Sand Coulee have carved intricate coulees through the arid soil.
