1973 Map of Larslan

About this map

Larslan serves as the central hub of this northern Valley County landscape, situated within the northern reaches of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation. The map depicts an environment defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the East Fork Porcupine Creek and its various tributaries, including Snow Coulee and West Fork Little Porcupine Creek. Evidence of local infrastructure and land use is present through features such as the Landing Strip, a remote Well, and Gravel Pits, suggesting a reliance on aviation and resource extraction in this sparsely populated region. Further south, the Hovland Dam manages local water flow, while a small Cem stands as a quiet marker of the community's local history. The land's character is shaped by its transition between prairie and the coulees that feed the larger Porcupine Creek system.
