1967 Map of Pryor NW

About this map

The Crow Indian Reservation Boundary cuts through this landscape of the late 1960s, marking a significant geopolitical divide across the rolling hills of Carbon, Yellowstone, and Big Horn counties. This area is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, with Wolf Creek and Cottonwood Creek carving deep paths through the northern sections. The southern half of the map is dominated by the headwaters of the Fivemile Creek system, including the North Fork and Middle Fork. Numerous unnamed springs are indicated throughout the terrain, signaling the vital water sources that supported livestock and ranching operations in this part of Montana. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the rural character of the region, where land use was primarily governed by the natural topography and the historical boundaries of the reservation.
