1983 Map of Kisler Butte

About this map

The Fort Peck Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across the southern portion of this landscape, marking a significant administrative and cultural divide in Sheridan County. The terrain is characterized by the prominent elevation of Kisler Butte, a landmark that anchors the western side of the survey area. This 1983 provisional map documents a sparse, upland environment where drainage patterns are defined by the winding paths of Ford Creek and Crazy Horse Creek. The lack of dense settlement or road networks highlights the open, rural character of the Montana plains during the late 20th century, providing a clear record of the topography and reservation limits as they were recorded during field checks in the late 1970s.
