1963 Map of Vaver Reservoir

About this map

Vaver Reservoir sits at the northern edge of this Liberty County landscape, a vital water source in an area defined by its energy and drainage networks in the early 1960s. The map illustrates a developing industrial presence within a Gas Field, marked by several Gas Wells and a prominent Pipeline that traverses the high ground. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses, with Little Sage Creek winding through the center and the distinct ravine of Fourmile Coulee stretching across the southeastern section. This survey captures a specific moment in Montana's resource extraction history, showing the distribution of early petroleum infrastructure alongside local landmarks like a Gravel Pit. The map's contour lines and drainage patterns offer a precise look at the physical geography before further modern development changed the profile of the sagebrush country.
