1982 Map of Hodges SW

About this map

Cedar Creek and Wolf Creek define the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape at the border of Dawson and Wibaux counties. In the early 1980s, the terrain shows a blend of natural watercourses and human infrastructure, notably the Gibson Ditch and a central Landing Strip. The presence of several Well sites and a crossing Pipeline indicates the region's involvement in resource extraction and energy transport during this era. Topography is marked by numerous draws and intermittent streams like Eastman Creek and Horse Creek, with localized features such as a Spring and a Substa illustrating the scattered nature of rural utility and water management. This survey provides a clear view of the land before modern agricultural and industrial expansion further altered the eastern Montana plains.
