1964 Map of Mountain Pocket Creek

About this map

The Bighorn River cuts through the northern reaches of this landscape, its path shaped by a complex network of man-made irrigation and natural drainage during the mid-1960s. Located entirely within the Crow Indian Reservation, the terrain transitions from the river valley into upland territory marked by the Soap Creek Field, indicating the importance of local energy resources to the area's economy. The intricate water system is defined by a series of canals, a Flowing Well, and a Gaging Sta, reflecting a managed landscape where water rights and flow were meticulously monitored for agriculture and industry.
