1965 Map of Fig Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Fig Mountain and the high ridges of the Black Buttes define this Garfield County landscape as it was documented in the mid-1960s. The terrain is deeply incised by a drainage network that includes Sand Creek, Tepee Creek, and the headwaters of Basin Creek. These coulees and creek beds reveal a sparse, ranch-driven environment where water sources and topographic landmarks like Joe Ott Butte are the primary points of reference. The presence of a Drill Hole in the western reaches suggests the era's subterranean exploration, while the winding path of Ziegele Coulee in the north illustrates the natural erosion patterns characteristic of this part of Montana. This survey provides a precise look at the land before later development, preserving the original place names and physical layout of the territory.
