1973 Map of Deers Ears Butte North

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Deers Ears Butte anchors the southern boundary of this high plains landscape, a prominent landmark in a region defined by its complex drainage network. The South Fork Moreau River meanders across the central portion of the quadrangle, collecting numerous tributaries including Spring Creek, Warren Creek, and Flat Creek. This 1972 aerial survey reveals a sparsely populated ranching environment where essential infrastructure is centered on isolated structures and water sources. A Dakota Range School provides a rare point of community assembly in the northern reaches, while scattered technical markers like a Drill Hole and a Well indicate the ongoing exploration of subterranean resources. The terrain is characterized by the transition from open plateaus to the incised valleys carved by Horse Creek and Trail Creek, documenting the geographic isolation and utilitarian settlement patterns of Butte County during the early 1970s.
