About this map

Wild Horse Ridge dominates the southern landscape of this 1969 survey, where the high-elevation terrain is defined by the headwaters and drainage networks of the local creek systems. This portion of the Crow Indian Reservation is characterized by its hydrological patterns, specifically the winding paths of Big Woody Creek, Little Woody Creek, and Fly Creek as they cut through the upland topography. The boundary between Yellowstone and Big Horn counties bisects the northern half of the sheet, providing a precise jurisdictional look at this rural expanse during the late 1960s.

Evidence of resource exploration and utility development is visible through the presence of a Pipeline and a specific Drill Hole landmark. These features, though sparse, indicate the early industrial footprints in a region otherwise marked by drainage basins and fence lines. This map is a key resource for tracing the exact physical geography of the Montana highlands before modern development altered the surface features.
