1968 Map of Fort Piegan

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Blackfeet Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the winding course of Cut Bank Creek and its complex network of seasonal coulees. This 1968 survey highlights the intersection of late-nineteenth-century historical landmarks with mid-twentieth-century industrial expansion. Fort Piegan and a nearby Ford reflect the early frontier activity along the waterways, while the Burlington Northern railroad and a prominent Pipeline crossing the northern section indicate the corridor's later role as a vital transportation and utility artery. Water management for the semi-arid high plains is evident in the Cobell Ditch and the Wasteway near the southern boundary. Terrain markers such as Antelope Butte and Gillam Coulee provide essential navigational points in a region characterized by deep-cut ravines and agricultural infrastructure, including a Corral and various Gravel Pits.
