1969 Map of Gildford NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The northern plains of Hill County, Montana, reveal a landscape defined by drainage patterns and seasonal water management in the late 1960s. The meandering course of Little Sage Creek dominates the northeastern sector, cutting through the high prairie before reaching the Burkhartsmeyer Reservoir, a vital local resource for managing runoff in this arid environment. Significant topographic relief is provided by deeply etched coulees, most notably Big Coulee and O'Brien Coulee, which serve as natural landmarks across the township lines. This survey, conducted as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, captures the rural character of the region where livestock grazing and dryland farming relied on the subtle hydrology of ephemeral streams like Tootsie Creek. The map provides researchers and genealogists with a precise view of the land's contours and property line fences during a period of agricultural stability in the Big Sky Country.
