1947 Map of Abbott Butte

About this map

Abbott Butte stands as the central landmark in this mid-century survey of the high country spanning the Douglas and Jackson line. The map documents an era of active federal forest management and remote ranching, with infrastructure like the Dumont Ranger Sta, Matthews Guard Sta, and the Bald Mtn Lookout positioned across the landscape. The terrain is a network of named drainages including Elk Creek, Bitter Lick Creek, and Deadhorse Creek that cut through prominent features like Quartz Mtn and Donegan Prairies.
