1969 Map of Rough Creek SE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Gray Ranch serves as a lonely landmark in this high-plains landscape of eastern Montana, where the terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. At the time of this 1969 field check, the area remained deeply rural, with limited human infrastructure beyond scattered water wells and a few unimproved ranch roads. The hydrology is dominated by seasonal watercourses like Pork Creek and the North Fork Cottonwood Creek in the north, while the southern reaches are fed by Wolf Creek and the East Fork Horse Creek. These water sources were essential for the cattle operations that shaped the local economy and land use. The map reveals the slow rhythm of life in Rosebud County, where the topography of the draws and coulees dictated the placement of every fence line and livestock watering hole.
