1973 Map of Nelson Creek Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Charles M Russell National Wildlife Range dominates this landscape along the eastern edge of the Dry Arm of Fort Peck Lake. The 1973 survey illustrates a rugged terrain defined by extensive coulees and points extending into the reservoir waters, such as Jacks Point, Stubby Point, and the distinct South Twitchel Point. This area of McCone County shows a sparsely populated ranching and wilderness landscape where small family names and landmarks like Nelson and Davis mark the map alongside cattle-country features like Steer Coulee and Foster Coulee. The topography reveals the complex drainage patterns feeding into Nelson Creek Bay and McGuire Creek Bay, with numerous temporary water sources like Carney Springs sustaining the local ecology and livestock within this vast protected range.
