1970 Map of Tiber Dam

About this map

Tiber Dam stands as the central engineering feat of this landscape, holding the waters of the Marias River to create the extensive Tiber Reservoir. Managed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation as part of the Missouri River Basin development, the area reflects a mid-century shift toward water management and recreation. The infrastructure supporting the dam is detailed through features like the Spillway 3015, a Pumping Sta, and a Landing Strip, while the Tiber Dam Camp and Sanford Park suggest a small, localized community focused on the site's operation. Beyond the reservoir, the topography is defined by complex drainage patterns including Sixmile Coulee and Crooked Coulee. The presence of several Gravel Pits and the Pugsley Bridge downstream indicates the local importance of road maintenance and river crossings in this Liberty County region.
