1970 Map of Loco Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Piper and Alaska serve as the primary human touchpoints in this 1970 landscape of central Montana, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts across the northern terrain. The infrastructure of the era is evidenced by a Gravel Pit and a small Cem located near the tracks, while the land itself is defined by the prominent Loco Ridge and Lyons Butte. Drainage patterns are clearly marked by McDonald Creek and its many tributaries, including Duncan Creek and Tyler Creek. The southern portion of the map transitions into the high-relief West Fork Gyp Basin, showing a sparsely populated territory where cattle ranching and transportation historically dictated the location of named sites. Numerous unnamed springs appear throughout the hills, highlighting the critical importance of water sources in this dry, elevated region.
