1966 Map of Fort Howes

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Custer National Forest lands dominate this mid-1960s landscape along the border of Rosebud and Powder River counties. The area is defined by a complex network of springs and reservoirs, including the aptly named Doubtful Reservoir and Simon Reservoir, which support life in this high-plains terrain. The map centers on the Fort Howes (Historical Site), a point of significant frontier interest, alongside the more modern Fort Howes Work Center. Topographically, the sheet is anchored by prominent landmarks such as Stag Rock Mountain and Taylor Butte. The presence of the Cow Creek Campground and numerous named springs like Rock Job Spring and Peggy Spring reflects a landscape managed for both timber and recreation during this era.
