1970 Map of Hammond

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Hammond and the high point of Belcher Mountain anchor this Carter County landscape during the late Vietnam era. The geography is defined by the winding course of the Little Powder River and the complex drainage systems of Boxelder Creek and the West Fork Boxelder Creek. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching region where the movement of water and livestock dictated the local economy. Several Drill Hole locations are noted across the terrain, reflecting the search for natural resources in the Powder River Basin. Transportation is largely confined to the corridor of Highway 212, which cuts across the northern half of the quadrangle. Other features like Spring Creek, Blowout Draw, and Ash provide specific landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing land patents and family movements through this corner of Montana.
