1970 Map of Moorhead

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Moorhead stands as the primary settlement node in this 1970 landscape, situated along the meandering course of the Powder River. The map illustrates a transitional ranching and rangeland environment straddling the Montana Wyoming border, where the boundary divides Powder River Co from Campbell Co. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic ridges and drainage systems, most notably the sharp rise of The Devils Backbone and the prominent Kelsey Hill. Water management in this arid stretch is documented through features like the Gaging Sta on the river and a Flowing Well located to the east. The network of drainage draws, such as Bootjack Draw, and numerous seasonal creeks like Flood Creek and Graham Creek, reveal the complex erosion patterns that shape this high-plains topography.
