1983 Map of Plentywood SW

About this map

Big Muddy Creek winds through the southern reaches of this Sheridan County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a dense network of watercourses and topographical relief. Based on 1970s field checks and aerial photography, the map documents the hydrologic patterns of the region, including the paths of Plentywood Creek and Harry Creek. The terrain is marked by the presence of an UG Pipeline, signaling the importance of industrial infrastructure in this rural environment. Smaller tributaries like Ford Creek and McCoy Creek contribute to the drainage system of the plains, providing critical landmarks for understanding the historical land use and natural boundaries of this Montana quadrangle during the late twentieth century.
