1986 Map of Pike Creek Hills East

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Pike Creek Hills dominate the topography of this central Montana landscape, where the high flat of Lamberts Bench transitions into a complex system of drainage and relief. The area is defined by the seasonal and perennial watercourses of Pike Creek and Flatwillow Creek, which have shaped the movement of people and livestock across the prairie. A distinct marker of former land management and irrigation attempts is the Abandoned Ditch, providing evidence of the human effort to divert water in this semi-arid environment. The boundary between Fergus and Petroleum counties bisects the northwestern portion of the map, illustrating how administrative lines were drawn across the natural folds of the Montana hills during the mid-to-late twentieth century.
