About this map

South Sunday Creek and Lone Tree Creek define the drainage patterns of this Rosebud County landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s. The terrain is characterized by dissected uplands and seasonal watercourses, showing the intricate contouring of the Rosebud breaks. A notable point of human activity is marked simply as a Well near Louie and Scottie Creek, indicating the vital importance of water access for ranching and livestock in this semi-arid region. The map also records Coal Creek in the southeastern corner, reflecting the geological underpinnings of a region where surface water is scarce. Large sections of the survey are defined by township boundaries, specifically T. 10 N. and T. 9 N., illustrating the systematic Bureau of Land Management grid that governs the western range.
