1969 Map of Government Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the northwest corner of this 1969 survey, where the small settlement of Tusler sits at a critical junction of northern Montana transport. Parallel rail lines of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and Burlington Northern track the river's path, reflecting the heavy-duty infrastructure required to move resources through Custer County. Further south, the Tongue River Pipeline snakes across a landscape defined by the prominent Government Hills and distinctive landmarks like Strawberry Hill. The transition from the irrigated lowlands near the Jones District Canal to the higher, broken terrain around Badland Butte and Angelwing Butte highlights the contrast between the fertile river valley and the arid Montana uplands. This map documents a working landscape where water management and industrial transit meet isolated springs such as Drownin Spring.
