1969 Map of Whitney Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Pine Hills dominate the northern landscape of this Custer County quadrangle, where the terrain breaks into complex drainages feeding toward the Tongue River valley in the southwest. Mapping in the late 1960s reveals a ranching landscape defined more by isolated water sources than by human settlements. Named springs like Bircher Springs, Finn Springs, and East Springs provide essential anchors in the arid high country, while intermittent flows such as Whitney Creek and Log Creek carve the local topography. This area, located near the Custer and Montana border, shows minimal industrial development outside of scattered Gravel Pits and drilling activity, highlighting the region's enduring character as open range and timbered hills.
