1978 Map of Fort Peck Lake East

About this map

Fort Peck Lake dominates this 1970s landscape, where the waters of the Missouri River are held back by the massive Fort Peck Dam. The map details the intricate shoreline of the Dry Arm and numerous inlets like Sutherland Creek Bay and Hell Creek. Significant portions of the surrounding territory are dedicated to the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Range, illustrating a period of transition toward recreation and conservation with sites such as the Rock Creek State Recreation Area and The Pines Recreation Area.
