1958 Map of Painted Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Rosebud Creek and its complex network of tributaries define this landscape in Big Horn County during the late 1950s. The map captures a high-plateau environment marked by intermittent drainage and significant topographical markers like Painted Hill and Shavedhead. Water management in this arid stretch is evident at Two Moon Reservoir, which feeds into Two Moon Creek. The area is dissected by numerous named drainages including Killnight Creek, Little Chief Creek, and the West Fork Muddy Creek, showing the natural erosion patterns of the northern plains. Human presence is indicated primarily through a network of trails and jeep trails that navigate between landmarks such as Indian Coulee and David Gulch, reflecting a period when motorized access was beginning to expand across traditional ranching or grazing lands.
