1967 Map of Spring Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Tongue River meanders through the heart of this landscape, its path defining the rugged transition between the high plateaus and the valley floor. In the late 1960s, human activity in this corner of the Montana ranchlands is marked by a network of water management and transit, including the prominent Flying V Ditch and several miles of Jeep Trail cutting across the upland breaks. The boundary between Rosebud and Big Horn Counties bisects the southern portion of the quadrangle, where the terrain is heavily dissected by drainages like Post Creek and Anderson Creek. Scattered throughout are numerous water sources simply marked as Spring or Springs, critical lifelines for the livestock and wildlife that populate these gulches. From Dutch Hollow in the north to the southern reaches of Coal Creek, the map captures a rural environment focused on the essential hydrology of the American West.
