1969 Map of Flat Bottom Coulee NE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Little Porcupine Creek and its surrounding drainage systems define the high plains landscape of Rosebud County during the late 1960s. This survey, compiled from 1968 aerial photography, details a sparsely populated environment dominated by the meandering paths of Stellar Creek and Rattlesnake Creek. The terrain is characterized by intricate erosional features, most notably the deeply carved Badland Coulee and a location aptly labeled Desolate. Industrial activity in this era is evidenced by several dispersed Drill Holes, indicating subsurface exploration across the central and northern sections of the quadrangle. While modern infrastructure is limited to unimproved roads and fence lines, the inclusion of features like the Flowing Well highlights the vital importance of water management in this arid stretch of eastern Montana.
