1956 Map of Battle Butte

About this map

The Lake Basin of south-central Montana dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal water and conservation efforts. The Northern Pacific railroad cuts a straight line across the prairie, serving as the primary infrastructure link through this ranching country. High points like Battle Butte and the Twin Buttes provide vertical relief in an otherwise subtle basin topography, where drainage is managed by a network of seasonal streams including Middle Sixshooter Creek, Cedar Creek, and Greenwood Creek.
