1971 Map of Griffin Coulee SW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The county line between Treasure Co and Rosebud Co bisects this Montana landscape, where the drainage systems of the Yellowstone River watershed dictate the terrain. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map reveals a rugged network of coulees and ridges defined by the headwaters of Beaver Creek and the branching paths of Reservation Creek. The presence of a Drill Hole in the high ground between Bear Creek and West Sheep Creek points to early industrial exploration in this sparsely settled region. Numerous seasonal watercourses and a labeled Spring in the southeast corner underscore the importance of water management in this cattle-ranching territory. This survey documents the area before significant modern development, showing the complex topography that shaped early Montana land use and political boundaries.
