1969 Map of Miller Creek NW

About this map

Graveyard Creek and its namesake Graveyard Road anchor this 1969 topographic study of the Montana backcountry straddling the Rosebud and Custer County line. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Iron Creek, Hay Creek, and Sweeney Creek, which have carved deep drainages like Horton Hollow. This era of the late 1960s shows a land primarily utilized for resource access, where established routes transition into a Jeep Trail as they move further into the higher elevations. Small-scale infrastructure is represented by a Flowing Well and another isolated Well, indicating the critical importance of water management in these arid southeastern Montana uplands.
