1970 Map of Hammond SE

About this map

Deadman Creek and its many seasonal tributaries define this high plains landscape at the border of Montana and Wyoming. The 1970 survey captures a region primarily utilized for ranching and resource exploration, as indicated by the presence of numerous Drill Holes and a Well scattered across the upland divides. The terrain is deeply incised by the drainage systems of the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork Willow Creek, which flow through the northern half of the quadrangle. At the southern edge, the Carter County and Crook County line marks the administrative transition across this open range. This map records the exact positioning of fine-line ranch fencing and pipeline corridors that were essential to the local livestock and energy economy during the early 1970s.
