1965 Map of Antelope Butte

About this map

The confluence of the Smith River and the Missouri River anchors this mid-century topographical study, showcasing a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and winding waterways. Elevated plateaus like the Sun River Bench and Truly Bench tower over the river valleys, while local landmarks such as Antelope Butte and Wilson Butte provide distinct navigational points. The industrial footprint is visible through numerous Gravel Pits and a Quarry, supporting the regional infrastructure. Transportation during this era relied on the Great Northern rail line and established thoroughfares like Tenmile Lane and River Road. A Gaging Sta along the Missouri reflects the ongoing management of these vital water systems, while the presence of Radio Towers indicates the growing communication network of the 1960s.
