About this map

The Rosebud Co Treasure Co boundary bisects this landscape of deeply carved drainages, captured as part of a mid-century development program for the Missouri River Basin. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Willow Creek, which is joined by tributaries like Muggins Creek and Mc Konkey Creek. These seasonal watercourses have sculpted the area into a complex network of ridges and draws, including the distinctive Bone Coulee.

Evidence of natural resource exploration appears in the form of a Drill Hole, reflecting the survey's focus on the region's geological potential. Surveyed in the late 1950s, this map provides a detailed view of the rural borderlands between Rosebud and Treasure counties, showing a sparse network of unimproved dirt roads and light-duty paths that navigate the uneven contours of the Big Sky country.
