1965 Map of Little Sheep Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Little Sheep Mountain dominates the landscape of this Prairie County terrain, defined by the intricate drainage systems of the Cherry Creek watershed. The 1965 survey reveals a sparsely populated ranching territory where life centered around isolated outposts like Devlin Ranch and the small settlement at Hawkins. The map traces the winding paths of the North Fork Cherry Creek and South Fork Cherry Creek as they carve through the high plains, illustrating the topographical challenges of 1960s Montana. Improved transport is represented by Cherry Creek Road and Caprock Road, which provided essential links between remote holdings and water sources. This document is particularly valuable for genealogists and local historians tracking the footprint of mid-century ranching families and the specific water rights associated with named drainages like Barney Creek and Whites Creek.
