1980 Map of Elkhorn Creek East

About this map

South Beaver Dam Creek and Elkhorn Creek define the drainage patterns of this high-plains landscape where the borders of Montana and South Dakota intersect. This 1980 survey captures a specific tri-county juncture involving Carter, Harding, and Butte counties. The terrain is structured around the Black Hills Meridian, with numerous small watercourses like Frozen Horse Creek and Bean Blossom Creek carving through the prairie. The map provides a precise record of late-20th-century land divisions and the hydrological network of North Indian Creek before significant modern alterations, offering an essential reference for understanding regional ranching boundaries and geological survey points at this remote western crossroads.
