1967 Map of Spring Creek Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Crow Indian Reservation Boundary and Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation Boundary meet in this Big Horn County landscape, where water resources define the remote ranching operations of the late 1960s. The eponymous Spring Creek Ranch is situated among a network of drainages including Cache Creek and Indian Creek. Numerous named water sources such as Fritzler Spring and Commissary Springs appear throughout the broken terrain, alongside topographic features with evocative local names like Moonshine Draw and Schoolhouse Coulee. Evidence of modern utility and remote access is found at the Landing Strip and various Jeep Trails that crisscross the hills. In the southeast, the Upper Indian Creek Reservoir and Lower Indian Creek Reservoir mark significant water management efforts on the reservation lands, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure supporting agriculture and livestock in this high plains region.
