1980 Map of Flasted Hill

About this map

Flasted Hill rises above a landscape defined by the winding drainages of the North Fork Coal Bank Creek and South Fork Coal Bank Creek in the eastern Montana plains. This 1980 survey reveals a quiet ranching and resource territory straddling the boundary of Fallon and Carter counties. The map documents an environment where water management is paramount to the local economy, evidenced by numerous scattered wells and tanks situated across the drainages of Squabble Creek and Horse Creek. Apart from a solitary Gravel Pit, the land remains primarily characterized by its natural contours and the seasonal flow of Flasted Creek, illustrating the persistent rural character of this border region in the late twentieth century.
