1981 Map of South Sandstone Reservoir

About this map

The South Sandstone Reservoir serves as a central anchor for this Fallon County landscape, which was documented by the Geological Survey during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of South Fork Sandstone Creek and its various tributaries, including Coon Creek and Timber Creek. While the area is largely characterized by open range, the presence of a notable Pipeline, scattered Well sites, and several Gravel Pits indicates the ongoing industrial utility of the land during this period. The map provides a clear view of the ranching and resource-extraction infrastructure that shaped eastern Montana's economy, showing the sparse but critical network of water management and rural developments across the township lines of T 7 N and T 6 N.
