1969 Map of Locate

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Powder River carves a winding path through the heart of Custer County, shaping a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and ranching-related water management in the late 1960s. The small settlement of Locate sits at a critical junction where the highway crosses the river, marked by a Gaging Sta and a network of gravel roads branching into the surrounding hills. This survey records the practical infrastructure of Montana's high plains, highlighting numerous water sources such as Flowing Well and Holmes Flowing Well that supported livestock and habitation in this arid environment. The map details a complex drainage system including North Wolf Creek, Deep Creek, and Babbidge Creek, illustrating the natural conduits that lead toward the primary river valley. Commercial activity is represented by localized Gravel Pits, situated near the primary crossing at Locate.
