1968 Map of Love Rock

About this map

The Blackfeet Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across this high plains landscape at the Montana-Alberta border, where the meandering path of the Milk River dominates the northern terrain. This 1968 survey documents a remote frontier defined by sparse settlements and the steady footprint of energy extraction, evidenced by scattered Oil Wells and a Gas Well across the drainage. Notable human presence is concentrated at Reagan Camp near the eastern margin, while the natural topography is anchored by the prominent Love Rock and Antelope heights. The scarcity of surface water makes seasonal features like Antelope Spring and various unnamed Springs critical landmarks for the local cattle and energy industries of the late twentieth century.
