1967 Map of Little Bear Creek

About this map

The Wolf Mountains dominate this high-plains landscape along the border of Montana and Wyoming. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Little Bear Creek, Wolf Creek, and Youngs Creek, which carve through the elevations east of the Crow Indian Reservation Boundary. The map documents a sparsely settled ranching and wilderness environment where transportation is limited to an unimproved Jeep Trail and the established Line Rider Creek Trail. Notable landmarks such as the Bull Hole spring and numerous seasonal water sources like Ash Creek and Squirrel Creek reveal the importance of water management in this arid grazing country. The map captures the exact line where Big Horn County, Montana, meets Sheridan County, Wyoming, providing a precise record of the jurisdictional and physical landscape during this era.
