About this map

Laredo sits at the eastern edge of this landscape, positioned where the Burlington Northern railroad corridor meets the winding path of Big Sandy Creek. This 1970 field check documents a rural territory defined by its history of land division and reservation boundaries, specifically where the Rocky Boys Indian Res and the Laredo Reservation meet. The terrain is deeply scored by numerous coulees, such as Antelope Coulee and Schwartz Coulee, which drain toward the central creek system.

A significant historical marker on this map is the Old Fort Assinniboine Military Road, which cuts diagonally across the southeastern sections, tracing an older frontier transit route through the modern landscape. Other notable features include Prairie Lake and several isolated burial sites marked simply as Cem, indicating the scattered presence of early homesteads and family plots along South Fresno Road.
