1951 Map of Black Butte Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Black Butte Mountain dominates this mid-century landscape in Meagher County, rising as a prominent landmark above a network of high-country drainage systems. The survey reflects a sparsely settled ranching and resource territory during the post-war era, anchored by family operations like the J Stewart Ranch and Prescott Ranch. A single Copper Mine located in the northwest quadrant indicates the legacy of earlier mineral exploration in these highlands. The terrain is defined by the complex confluence of Sixteenmile Creek and its tributaries, including Battle Creek, Mike Day Creek, and Faulkner Creek. These watercourses carve through the topography, dictating the placement of the few improved and unimproved roads that serve the isolated ranchsteads and mining claims of this central Montana region.
