1972 Map of Butte City

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Butte City serves as the primary settlement in this high-desert landscape of the early 1970s, positioned just west of the sprawling National Reactor Testing Station. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Big Lost River, which carves through the volcanic geology of the region, most notably at Box Canyon. This drainage system creates a sharp contrast with the arid surrounding plains of Deadman Flat.
