1980 Map of Chimney Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Nebraska National Forest encompasses the southern portion of this landscape, where the terrain transitions into the high ridges and deep drainages of the Pine Ridge region. Published in 1981 based on 1970s fieldwork, the map reveals a sparse ranching and agricultural community centered around vital water sources like Ash Creek and Trunk Butte Creek. The presence of the Hard Scrabble Sch and Bethel Ch along Ash Road suggests a localized social center for the surrounding families. Notable landmarks like Chimney Butte and Barrel Butte rise above the drainage networks of East Ash Creek and Indian Creek, serving as prominent navigational points in the northwestern Nebraska plains. This survey provides a clear view of land divisions, including numerous fence and field lines that define the rural character of Dawes County during this period.
