1980 Map of Mailbox Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Mail Box Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this high plains region of Yellowstone County, where the landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Buffalo Creek and East Buffalo Creek. Based on aerial photography from 1973, this survey illustrates a transition toward more intensive land use, particularly in the northern sections where a Landing Strip and numerous Flowing Wells appear. The distribution of Drill Holes and Wells across the terrain suggests an era of active subsurface exploration, likely for water or energy resources, while Spring sites and Coulees indicate the vital natural water points that have long sustained this semi-arid environment. These specific industrial and natural features provide a clear record of the area's development before the late 20th century.
