1965 Map of Schuyler Butte

About this map

Charles M Russell National Wildlife Refuge dominates the landscape in this 1960s study, where the northern breaks meet the expansive waters of Fort Peck Lake. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees and ridges, including the prominent Bridge Ridge and Blue Ridge, which channel drainage toward the Missouri River valley. This era shows the shoreline at a normal pool elevation of 2246 feet, revealing the intricate finger-like inlets where Kill Woman Creek and Johnny Creek meet the reservoir.
