1967 Map of Conrad Butte

About this map

Whoop Up Trail cuts across this high plains landscape, marking a historic transportation corridor through the northern Montana grasslands. The map reveals a transition between the deeply eroded breaks of the Marias River and the flatter benchlands to the south. Along the northern edge, the river flows into the Tiber Reservoir, where the water gathers against the rising canyon walls. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, from the low riverbed up to landmarks like Conrad Butte and the broad expanses of Atkinson Flat and Tank Flat. Small rural schoolhouses, including Union Sch and Higgins Sch, are scattered across the section lines, indicating the distributed nature of local ranching communities in the mid-1960s. Boundary lines for the Toole Co and Pondera Co border and the Montana Principal Meridian provide a precise framework for the region's cadastral layout.
