About this map

Dutton serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in the mid-20th century, situated at the junction of the Great Northern railroad and Diamond Valley Road. The community is anchored by local infrastructure including a Cem and the Dutton Airfield, reflecting the importance of both ground and air transport in the rural Teton County area. The surrounding plains are heavily dotted with rural schoolhouses such as Doheney School, Habel School, and Middleton School, indicating a distributed pattern of settlement and local education prior to widespread school consolidation.

The winding course of the Teton River cuts through the northern sections of the map, crossed by the Kerr Bridge. Dramatic terrain features like Hunt Coulee and Bosseler Ridge break the otherwise steady grid of township and range lines. Further south, the landscape includes Muddy Creek and Lake C, while markers of former enterprise like the Snider School (Aband) and various Gravel Pits (Aband) speak to the shifting needs of the local community.
