1969 Map of Kinsey NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Harris Creek and several other drainage systems dominate this 1968 topographic survey of the plains in Custer County, Montana. The landscape is defined by the erosive patterns of Caprock Coulee and the winding paths of Custer Creek and Cabin Creek. This specific quadrangle, mapped by photogrammetric methods just before the 1970s, illustrates the complex network of intermittent water sources and high-ground ridges characteristic of the Yellowstone River watershed. Local landmarks like Snaggs Creek and a prominent Spring indicate the essential water locations that historically dictated movement and land use in this open ranching country. The intricate contour lines reveal the subtle but significant elevation changes between the creek beds and the dividing caprock plateaus.
