1960 Map of Hardin SW

About this map

The Bighorn River carves a complex, braided path through this portion of Big Horn County, Montana, as documented in this 1960 field study. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the irrigated river bottom and the elevated, dry uplands of Walker Hill. This environment supported localized activity like Kopac Camp, situated near the confluence of Whiskey Coulee and Wild Horse Spring. Numerous drainage features like Woody Creek and Halfway House Coulee illustrate the region's erosional patterns and the vital importance of seasonal water sources in the semi-arid northern plains. The map's detail on ephemeral springs and named coulees like Egnew Coulee and Davis Coulee provides essential data for understanding the historical land use and cattle-ranching infrastructure of the mid-20th century.
