1985 Map of Mount Sinai

About this map

Mount Sinai rises as a prominent landmark in this 1980s landscape, positioned near the boundary of Golden Valley Co and Stillwater Co. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees and gulches that channel water through the high plains. Drainage patterns are dominated by Big Coulee Creek in the north and Custer Creek which cuts through the central sections of the quadrangle. Other smaller watercourses, such as Stockade Gulch, Cabin Gulch Creek, and Hop Creek, illustrate the complex erosion and topographical relief characteristic of this part of Montana. This provisional survey captures the area's rural character, showing a sparse network of unimproved roads and transmission lines that navigate the deep ravines and ridges. The map provides a detailed view of the natural landforms before modern development, recording the exact placement of summits and drainages that have served as local reference points for generations.
