1995 Map of Stacey

About this map

Custer National Forest lands dominate this mid-1990s terrain in Powder River County, where water management is central to the landscape. A network of springs and reservoirs, including Reed Creek Reservoir and Horse Pasture Reservoir, underscores the necessity of livestock watering in this drainage system. The map documents the small settlement at Stacey and the nearby South Stacey School, providing a record of rural social centers that served ranching families in the area. High points like Liscom Butte and its associated Liscom Butte Lookout provided essential fire surveillance over the surrounding creek beds. The presence of Whitetail Cabin and Samuelson Ranch indicates the persisting pattern of seasonal forest use and private landholding within the public forest boundaries, connected by primitive 4WD trails that navigate the draws of Pumpkin Creek.
