1986 Map of Tyler

About this map

The northern foothills of the Snowy Mountains dominate this central Montana landscape where the Fergus and Musselshell county lines meet. The small settlement of Tyler sits at the western edge of a complex drainage system, where the terrain transitions from high ridges into the winding valleys of Flatwillow Creek and Durfee Creek. Water management is a visible priority in this arid environment, evidenced by labels for a Ditch and an Aban'd Canal alongside numerous spring sites. The presence of a Gravel Pit and established creek crossings like those at Jones Creek and Pike Creek reflect the local infrastructure and ranching-related land use typical of the mid-1980s in this region.
