1965 Map of Watkins SE

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The high plains of eastern Montana are captured here during the mid-1960s, showing a landscape defined by expansive ranch lands and intermittent waterways. The terrain is dominated by the prominence of Big Sheep Mountain Road, which traverses the high ground through the heart of the quadrangle. Water sources are critical but sparse in this environment, represented by the winding course of Lisk Creek and the small West Duck Cr to the north. A vital landmark for local history and livestock is Morton Spring, located near the boundary between Mc Cone Co and Prairie Co. This survey illustrates the specialized infrastructure of Big Sky Country, where roads follow the natural ridges and life centers around the few permanent water points in a wide, open territory.
