1966 Map of Fort Howes

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Custer National Forest defines the rugged character of this southeastern Montana landscape, where the high plains break into a network of drainages and prominent ridges. The area is anchored by the Fort Howes (Historical Site) and the nearby Fort Howes Ranger Station, marking a location of significant historical and administrative importance along Otter Creek. The terrain is punctuated by landmarks such as Stag Rock Mountain and Taylor Butte, while the drainage system of Coal Creek and Ash Creek reveals a complex series of springs and reservoirs like Dunning Reservoir. Numerous localized water sources, including Paget Spring No 1 and Lyon Creek Well, indicate the vital importance of water management for ranching and forest service operations in this arid environment during the mid-twentieth century.
