1972 Map of Short Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Range dominates the eastern half of this landscape, where the broken coulees of Garfield County meet the waters of the Fort Dry Peck Lake Arm. The map reveals a remote ranching territory defined by intricate drainage systems like Lone Tree Creek, Bridge Coulee, and Snap Creek. Human presence is sparse, centered around the Flint Ranch and isolated infrastructure such as a Drill Hole and Well. Significant topographic landmarks along the shoreline include Stubby Point and North Twitchell Pt, overlooking the expansive reservoir. The southern edge is defined by the winding course of Big Dry Creek as it moves toward Egan Flat, illustrating the transition from upland grazing territory to the complex riparian network of the Missouri River breaks.
