1915 Map of Todd Lakes

About this map

Fort Peck Indian Reservation dominates this landscape in northeastern Montana, surveyed when the high plains were divided into distinct tribal lands and vast grazing ranges. The drainage systems of Wolf Creek and its various branches, including the East Fork, West Fork, and Middle Fork, create a complex network of coulees and breaks that transition into the broader Tule Valley. This 1910 survey identifies the precise Boundary Line between Valley Sheridan counties, providing a clear view of the early political and tribal divisions of the era. The terrain is marked by seasonal water sources such as Little Porcupine Creek and Cottonwood Creek, reflecting a territory where water management and natural geography dictated the placement of early settlements and livestock trails.
