1983 Map of Hudiburgh Reservoir NW

About this map

Cow Creek and Duck Creek define the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape in McCone County, as documented in this 1983 provisional survey. Based on aerial photography from the mid-1970s, the map reveals a remote area of eastern Montana where natural topography remains largely uninterrupted by dense settlement. The presence of a Gravel Pit suggests local extractive activity, likely supporting the network of unimproved roads and trails that traverse the hills. This document preserves the late twentieth-century state of the land before modern developments, showing the exact placement of ephemeral watercourses and localized industrial sites that are critical for understanding historical land use in this sparsely populated region.
