1997 Map of Gorham NW

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Elkhorn Ranch and the winding course of the Little Missouri river define this landscape in Billings County, where private ranching and industrial resource extraction coexist within the Little Missouri National Grassland. The map reveals a complex mosaic of land use in the late 1990s, where several major petroleum deposits, including the Magpie Oil Field and the Anderson Coulee Oil Field, are interspersed with traditional homesteads. The rugged drainage systems of Blacktail Creek, Whitetail Creek, and Mikes Creek cut through the terrain, leading toward the river. Local landmarks like Kessel Ranch and the Kordon Ranch highlight the continued importance of the ranching economy, while the presence of a Compressor Station and a Scoria Pit reflect the area's active energy infrastructure during this period of revision by the Forest Service.
