About this map

Aberdeen stands as a primary point of reference in this rugged borderland where Big Horn County, Montana, meets Sheridan County, Wyoming. The landscape is defined by the Crow Indian Reservation, whose boundary cuts through the southern portion of the map. Transport and commerce in the late 1960s are dominated by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which follows the natural corridor carved by Pass Creek.

A network of seasonal and perennial watercourses, including Middle Pine Creek, Big Pine Creek, and Wolf Creek, dissects the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns vital to this ranching country. The presence of a Gravel Pit near the tracks suggests localized industrial activity, while numerous creek names like Corral Creek, Sheep Creek, and Rider Creek reflect the area's agricultural heritage and the importance of water rights along the state line.
