About this map

Wallum anchors the southwestern corner of this Golden Valley County landscape, situated where the high plains begin to break into complex coulees and drainage networks. The geography is defined by the winding course of Swimming Woman Creek, which cuts southward through the center of the sheet, and the broader valley of Careless Creek near the southern boundary. These waterways, along with the eastern Alkali Creek, represent the essential water sources for cattle and agriculture in this semi-arid region. A solitary Gravel Pit and scattered infrastructure like a Spring and Well point to the modest industrial and survival footprints left by ranchers and road builders. This mid-1980s provisional study records the township and range lines that structured Montana's early settlement, capturing a remote terrain where human activity remained sparse and tied closely to the seasonal flow of its creek beds.
