1980 Map of Signal Mountain

About this map

Signal Mtn and the nearby Elbow Hill rise above a complex network of drainages in this Musselshell County landscape during the late twentieth century. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several key creeks, including Halfbreed Creek, West Parrot Creek, and East Parrot Creek, which carve into the rolling uplands. Human activity is centered on resource extraction and communication infrastructure, evidenced by scattered Strip Mine and Gravel Pit operations alongside a prominent Radio Tower in the southwest. The presence of numerous unnamed wells and Spring features suggests a reliance on groundwater for the ranching and mining operations that characterize the era. Sections are clearly marked following the Public Land Survey System, providing a structural grid over the winding course of Rehder Creek.
