1980 Map of Dogtooth Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Dogtooth Buttes and the high ridges of Whiskey Buttes dominate this mid-1970s landscape on the border of Grant and Morton counties. The terrain is marked by significant topographical variation, including the notable Deadman Cave and several scattered water wells. Transport and infrastructure are centered on the Burlington Northern railroad line, which cuts through the northern portion of the quadrangle near the headwaters of Louse Creek. The survey, edited in 1980, shows a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural region where life centers on water sources like Otter Creek and the connectivity of the rail corridor. Landmarks such as a Radio Tower and a Roadside Park along the highway provide modern navigation points in a landscape defined by its distinctive buttes and deep creek drainage patterns.
