1969 Map of Little Whitney Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The rolling plains of eastern Montana meet at the administrative divide between Prairie Co and Custer Co, defining a landscape centered on the seasonal drainages of the Missouri River watershed. Rural life in the late 1960s is anchored by the Whitney Creek School, a vital landmark for the scattered ranching community. The drainage of Little Whitney Creek and Court Creek dictate the local topography, with human interventions appearing as modest water management features like Long Dam and a lone Corral situated near the center of the survey area. A straight industrial corridor marked as a Pipeline cuts across the northern terrain, contrasting with the natural wandering paths of the coulees. This survey records a specific moment in the mid-20th century before shifts in rural education and land use transformed the footprint of these high plains homesteads and grazing lands.
