About this map

The Powder River meanders across the northeast corner of this Eastern Montana landscape, defining a wide valley of riparian vegetation and shifting sandbars. This late-1970s survey captures a sparsely settled cattle-ranching region centered around the small locality of Shaw. The terrain is deeply incised by a complex network of seasonal drainages, including the oddly named Third Ash Creek, Dead Horse Creek, and Mills Creek, which likely reflect the early naming conventions of local homesteaders and ranchers.
