About this map

Hollowwood Creek and its surrounding drainage network define this 1950s landscape in Rosebud County, Montana, mapped as part of a Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin. The terrain is characterized by a dense system of coulees and forks, including the evocatively named Walking Horse Coulee, Little Coyote Coulee, and Crazy Head Fork.

Evidence of local land use is sparse, but significant features like Bighead Reservoir and the Landing Strip near Patrick Spring indicate specialized aviation and water management needs during this period. The survey also captures numerous water sources such as Stebbins Creek, Woodenhigh Creek, and Kelty Creek, which would have been vital for ranching and resource management in this region of the American West.
