1983 Map of Long Creek West

About this map

The Fort Peck Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the high plateau drainage systems and intricate coulees of Roosevelt County in the late 1970s. This survey, compiled from 1975 aerial photography, details the rugged breaks and terrain variations characteristic of the region. Water remains the primary shaper of the land here, with Long Creek winding across the northern sections and Boxelder Creek cutting through the southwestern corner. The map also includes a notable terrain marker identified simply as Elder, situated within the expansive topography of the Missouri River watershed. While sparse in permanent settlements, the map provides a precise layout of the unimproved roads and trails that connected this section of the reservation, illustrating the rural infrastructure and land use patterns prior to the 1980s.
