1984 Map of Richmond Reservoir SW

About this map

Chouteau Coulee carves through the landscape of Blaine County, Montana, defining the local drainage patterns as they were documented in the late 1970s. This agricultural and ranching terrain is characterized by its intermittent watercourses and the infrastructure required to manage them, notably the Twin Reservoir and Dry Fork Battle Creek. The map provides a clear look at the practical elements of the era's rural economy, including a prominent Pipeline corridor and clustered Storage Bins that likely served as collection points for local grain or supplies. This provisional survey captures the intersection of natural topography and human utility in a sparsely populated region where water management and resource storage are the primary markers of development.
