1983 Map of Hudiburgh Reservoir SE

About this map

North Fork Buffalo Creek and South Fork Buffalo Creek converge within this high plains landscape of McCone County, creating a complex network of seasonal drainages and coulees. Surveyed in the late 1970s and edited in the early 1980s, the map reveals a sparsely settled ranching environment defined by remote infrastructure. A notable landmark is the Grass Landing Strip, an essential piece of aviation history for large-scale Montana ranching operations. The terrain is further etched by the paths of Lost Creek and Spring Creek, showing how water dictated the placement of roads and homesteads across this eastern Montana reach. This provisional edition preserves the drainage patterns and isolated improvements of the era before more modern digital mapping was introduced.
