1982 Map of Freeman Creek

About this map

The Burlington Northern railroad cuts through the northern reaches of this Eastern Montana landscape, following the natural contours near Beaver Hill. This 1982 survey captures a remote drainage network defined by Freeman Creek and Hodges Creek, where the presence of numerous Spring and Springs labels suggests a critical reliance on reliable water sources in an arid grazing region. The map documents the boundary between Dawson and Wibaux counties, providing a precise record of the land division and local topography during the early 1980s. A solitary Gravel Pit in the northwest corner and the path of Glendive Spr Creek further illustrate the sparse industrial and natural features of this high plains environment.
