1968 Map of Paddy Fay Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Tongue River meanders through the heart of Custer County, shaping a landscape defined by sharp transitions between high bluffs and fertile bottomlands. In the late 1960s, the Tongue and Yellowstone River Irrigation District Canal followed the eastern bench of the river valley, a critical artery for agriculture in this semi-arid region. To the south, the Old Fort Keogh Military Reservation Boundary marks the historic reach of one of Montana's most significant frontier military posts. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous watercourses, including Paddy Fay Creek, Cowles Creek, and Squaw Creek, which drain the surrounding uplands toward the river. Scattered evidence of land use is visible through a Gaging Sta along the river and a Drill Hole in the western hills, reflecting the region's focus on water management and resource exploration.
