1973 Map of North of Volt

About this map

The Fort Peck Indian Reservation dominates this northern landscape where the West Fork Poplar River carves through the undulating terrain. This 1970s survey captures a transition in the land's use, where agricultural storage and industrial extraction sit side-by-side with tribal lands. The northern portion of the map is marked by the border between Daniels and Roosevelt counties, crossing over high points and shallow drainages. Evidence of resource exploration and local infrastructure is scattered across the township, from a single Drill Hole in the center to clusters of Storage Bins used for local grain. Further south, the meandering path of Cottonwood Creek provides a stark contrast to the rigid section lines that divide the surrounding plains. The presence of a Well and a Gravel Pit along the eastern edge highlights the small-scale developments supporting this rural stretch of eastern Montana.
