1967 Map of Yager Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Custer National Forest lands dominate this high-plains landscape in southeastern Montana, where a complex network of springs and reservoirs supported cattle ranching and land management in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features like Yager Butte and Chimney Rock, which rise above the drainages of Tenmile Creek and Shorty Creek. For local history and genealogy, the map provides a precise record of water infrastructure essential to this arid region, including named locations like Ottesen Spring, Coal Creek Spring, and Harriet Spring No 1. Evidence of fire management and early forest oversight is centered at the Lookout Tower on a prominent ridge near Yager Gulch. The prevalence of small catchments like Cloudburst Reservoir and Two Buck Reservoir illustrates the careful management of the watershed across this portion of Powder River County.
