1967 Map of Jeans Fork NE

About this map

The Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation Boundary defines the eastern portion of this Big Horn County landscape, where the high plains of Montana meet a complex system of drainage forks. Water sources dominate the geography of the late 1960s, notably Sarpy Creek and the East Fork Sarpy Creek to the east, while Jeans Fork and the East Fork Tullock Creek carve through the western terrain. The map records a series of unnamed Spring locations that were vital to ranching and local settlement in this semi-arid region. This survey captures the land before extensive modern development, preserving the exact placement of reservation lines and natural water features that have shaped land use and tribal history in the area.
