1973 Map of Foster Creek School

About this map

Foster Creek School serves as a central landmark in this ranching landscape straddling the Custer Co Powder River Co boundary. The area is defined by a sparse network of homesteads and water sources, including the Green Ranch and the small settlement of Jandell. The terrain features several prominent drainages like Foster Creek and Little Pumpkin Creek, which are critical to the local agricultural economy. Transportation in the early 1970s was facilitated by the Tongue River Road and local paths such as Tree Lane. Notable for researchers are the specific land-use indicators like Landing Strips and Cameron Crossing, which suggest the logistical realities of managing large tracts of land in eastern Montana. Geological and survey markers like the Base Line and scattered Drill Holes further detail the mapping and exploration of this remote territory.
