1969 Map of Wild Horse Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Wild Horse Pass provides a focal point for this 1969 topographic study of the Montana high country in Rosebud County. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems, most notably the seasonal headwaters of Louie and Scottie Creek and the meandering path of Sand Creek. These intermittent watercourses and deep-cut features like Fenney Coulee illustrate the hydrological patterns that dictated livestock movement and early land use in this part of the state. The presence of a secluded Spring in the northern portion of the quadrangle highlights the critical importance of reliable water sources in an otherwise arid and dissected terrain. The map captures a moment of transition where traditional ranching geography meets modern photogrammetric mapping, preserving the specific nomenclature of local landmarks during the late 1960s.
