1965 Map of Weingart Place NW

About this map

Crooked Creek meanders through this section of Petroleum County, carving a series of complex drainages across the Montana landscape as part of the Missouri River Basin development program. The topography is defined by the winding paths of Blacktail Coulee and Drag Creek, which illustrate the natural erosion patterns of the region's uplands. A notable human intervention in this drainage network is the Spillway located in the southeastern corner, signifying water management efforts in an area where the terrain dictated the placement of early ranching and land use boundaries. The map captures the transition between Township 19 North and Township 20 North, revealing the intricate land survey system that organized this portion of the western frontier.
