1985 Map of Mitchell Crossing

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Charles M Russell National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern reaches of this Fergus County landscape, where the meandering course of Armells Creek carves a deep valley through the high plains. This 1985 survey, based on field checks from the late 1970s, captures the remote character of central Montana's drainage systems. The settlement of Mitchell Crossing serves as a focal point near the creek, surrounded by a complex network of topographical features like Knox Ridge and the dramatic drop of Indian Butte. The map details the intricate erosion patterns of the Missouri River breaks country, illustrated by the long, winding paths of Fargo Coulee and King Coulee. Water management in this arid environment is evident at Flat Top Reservoir, providing a clear look at how the land was utilized for both conservation and ranching in the mid-1980s.
