1960 Map of Hardin SW

About this map

The Bighorn River carves a braided path through this Big Horn County landscape, defined by a series of steep drainages and coulees that feed into the river valley. In the early 1960s, this area reflects the rural ranching character of southern Montana, centered around localized operations like Prante Ranch and the Kopac Camp. The topographical detail reveals a complex network of seasonal watercourses with evocative local names such as Whiskey Coulee, Halfway House Coulee, and Good Horse Coulee, suggesting historical transit routes through the dry upland terrain. To the west, Walker Hill stands as a prominent elevation, while the presence of a Gravel Pit and scattered Jeep Trails indicates the small-scale industrial and utility access points used by local residents and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation during the mid-century development of the Missouri River Basin.
