1950 Map of Dutton

About this map

The town of Dutton serves as the hub of this mid-century topographic survey, positioned along the Great Northern railway as it traverses the high plains. The landscape is defined by the deeply incised meanders of the Teton River, which cuts a winding path across the northern half of the sheet, contrasted by the linear precision of the Diamond Valley Road and the Principal Meridian. A network of rural education is visible through several country schools, including Habel School, Middleton School, and the Snider School (Aband). Evidence of local infrastructure and early aviation is grounded in the presence of the Dutton Airfield and a regional Pipe Line. The map also captures the agricultural and industrial character of Teton County through scattered Gravel Pits and landmarks like Bessette Ridge, offering a clear view of the region's development during the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin program.
