1979 Map of Lavina NW

About this map

Currant Creek and Smith Creek meander through this central Montana landscape, which is defined by a series of deep drainage channels including Twin Coulee and Cameron Coulee. In the late 1970s, the terrain shows a sparse ranching and utility footprint, with a long Pipeline cutting across the northern sections and small-scale excavations like the Gravel Pit near the creek beds. The boundary between Golden Valley and Musselshell Counties runs through the eastern portion of the map, while the high point at Harmon stands out as a notable landmark in an area largely characterized by vast, open grazing land. This survey captures the subtle infrastructure of rural Montana, from isolated wells to the network of unimproved roads that trace the natural contours of the coulees.
