1971 Map of Griffin Coulee NW

About this map

Reservation Creek snakes through the center of this rangeland survey, carving a path between the high, broken plateaus of Rosebud and Treasure Counties. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, where significant topographic relief is marked by features like Cache Coulee and Wyant Coulee. These coulees and the broader Dog Prairie provide a glimpse into the cattle country of eastern Montana in the early 1970s. Human presence is sparse, indicated primarily by a network of Jeep Trails and scattered water sources such as Springs and a Well. In the southern reaches, the terrain descends toward East Fork Cottonwood Creek and Blacktail Creek, tracing the remote boundary line between neighboring counties in a region largely untouched by major infrastructure.
