1969 Map of Woody Mountain NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Crow Indian Reservation Boundary bisects this landscape, marking a significant legal and cultural line across the high plains of Yellowstone County. To the north and west, the terrain is defined by a series of drainages including Alkali Creek and Broken Leg Creek, while the southern portion is dominated by the winding course of the East Fork Pryor Creek. The map documents a sparsely settled ranching or grazing environment, where the natural water sources like Indian Creek and Telegraph Creek dictate the utility of the land. A primary highway cuts east-west across the central portion, providing a modern contrast to the deep-cut Lone Tree Coulee and the traditional reservation lands. This survey offers a clear view of the intersection between established indigenous territories and the rural development of Montana in the late 1960s.
