1972 Map of Battleship Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Sweet Grass Creek flows across the northern edge of this high-plains landscape, where the agricultural economy of the early 1970s is etched into the terrain through an extensive network of irrigation canals. The sophisticated water management of the region is evident in the Hart-Parker Ditch, Anderson-Vose Ditch, and Stuart Ditch, which redirect local flows to support ranching operations. At the heart of the community, the Settlement Community Hall and nearby Bologne serve as local landmarks alongside the Melville Ch and Melville Cem. The topography is defined by the prominent Battleship Butte and Wheeler Butte, rising above numerous drainages such as Otter Creek and Horse Creek. This survey provides a clear view of the rural Montana infrastructure, including isolated ranch roads and various springs that punctuate the foothills.
