About this map

The Lame Deer Strip Mine stands as a primary industrial landmark in this corner of Rosebud County, documented during the late 1950s. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages and named ridges, most notably Fisher Butte, which rises above a series of creeks and springs that have historically supported local ranching and transit. Water sources are meticulously mapped, including Crazy Head Spring, White Horse Spring, and Station Spring, reflecting the importance of reliable water in this Montana terrain.

Industrial activity is further evidenced by a Gravel Pit located near Pueblo Cr in the southeast. The map traces numerous named watercourses such as Standing Elk Creek and White Buffalo Creek, alongside descriptive local names like Soldier Gulch and Broken Jaw Creek. These features illustrate the early stages of natural resource development in the Missouri River Basin during the mid-twentieth century.
