About this map

The High Plains of Treasure County meet the intersection of Rosebud and Yellowstone counties in this 1980 survey, characterized by a complex network of intermittent drainage and upland plateau. Muggins Taylor Flat dominates the northeastern landscape, while the serpentine courses of Indian Creek and North Fork define the northern drainages. This area reflects a landscape managed for cattle and energy, evidenced by the numerous scattered Well sites and a specific Drill Hole in the northern sections.

Evidence of remote transport and ranching infrastructure is visible through the presence of Landing Strips and a web of fence lines. The topography is shaped by deep-cut features such as Stove Coulee and the drainage of Alkali Creek, providing a detailed record of the geography before modern agricultural or industrial shifts. The map also delineates the precise meeting points of three major Montana counties, making it a valuable tool for property and boundary research.
