1960 Map of Thebes

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Thebes appears as a small stop along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad during the early 1960s in this portion of Rosebud County. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the Missouri River Basin, where water features like Thebes Lake and several prominent coulees dictate the placement of local infrastructure. Small-scale ranching is evident at the Erickson Ranch, positioned north of the primary rail line and the meandering path of West Blacktail Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the regional water management of the era, noting a Dam and numerous Well locations across the arid terrain. While the rail line provided a lifeline for transit, the vast majority of the quadrangle is characterized by the winding courses of Great Porcupine Creek and Sun Coulee, which cut through the hills of eastern Montana.
