1995 Map of Green Creek

About this map

The Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation and the Custer National Forest converge in this high-plains landscape, where the Tongue River carves through the distinct Tongue River Breaks. This mid-1990s survey illustrates a specialized land-use pattern, highlighting designated recreational zones like the Tongue River Breaks Hiking and Riding Area and the King Mountain Hiking and Riding Area. The topography is defined by its water management systems, crucial for ranching in this arid environment. A network of small-scale reservoirs and wells, such as the East Fork Reservoir, Schaudel Reservoir, and the O'Dell Windmill, are scattered across the draws and creeks. The presence of the Bull Ranch underscores the area's agricultural identity, while labels for King Creek Well No 1 and others point to localized resource development within the forest boundaries.
