1969 Map of North Telegraph Creek

About this map

The Crow Indian Reservation Boundary bisects this late 1960s landscape, marking a clear division across the undulating terrain of Big Horn and Yellowstone counties. The land is defined by the drainage systems of North Telegraph Creek and the main branch of Telegraph Creek, which carve winding paths through the hills. While primarily open range, the presence of isolated Storage Bins and a prominent Pipeline in the south near Fly Creek suggests a landscape managed for both agriculture and resource transit. The arrival of modern infrastructure is evident along the corridor of 87 212, which cuts diagonally through the northern sections. This survey provides a precise look at the jurisdictional lines and water-driven topography before further late-century developments altered the character of this border region between the two counties.
