1967 Map of Thompson Creek NW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Wolf Mountains dominate this landscape within the Crow Indian Reservation in Big Horn County. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a rugged drainage system where Reno Creek and its tributaries, including the North Fork Reno Creek and South Fork Reno Creek, carve through the high terrain. Human activity is sparse, marked primarily by a network of Jeep Trails and occasional infrastructure like a Gravel Pit or isolated Wells. The importance of water in this semi-arid environment is evidenced by numerous named Springs and specialized watercourses like Dipping Vat Creek, which hints at the cattle ranching history of the region. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the Little Thompson Creek and Thompson Creek basins, showing a complex topography of ridges and draws.
