1964 Map of Little Finger Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Yellowtail Reservoir dominates the northwestern corner of this map, filling the dramatic depths of Bighorn Canyon shortly after the construction of the Yellowtail Dam. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the water's edge to the high plateaus of the Crow Indian Reservation. Distinctive terrain features such as The Buffalo Pasture and Little Finger Ridge overlook a complex system of drainages, including Big Bull Elk Canyon and Little Bull Elk Canyon. Remote resources like Black Tail Spring and Whiskey Coulee Spring are marked along these steep ridges, providing a glimpse into the hydrography of this Montana backcountry. The presence of a Natural Bridge and the Jeep Trail winding through the southwestern quadrant reflect the era's land use within the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area during the mid-1960s.
