1967 Map of Taintor Desert

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation Boundary defines the upper portion of this landscape, marking a sharp transition in the high plains of Big Horn and Rosebud counties. The terrain is dominated by the Taintor Desert, a complex network of arid drainages where seasonal waters like Prairie Dog Creek and Coyote Creek carve through the plateau. This 1967 survey captures a sparsely settled ranching environment, centered on isolated outposts like the Jordan Ranch.
