1969 Map of Flat Top Butte SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Coal Creek and Tenmile Creek carve through this Montana landscape, which was documented during a 1968 photogrammetric survey and field-checked in 1969. The map highlights the intersection of Prairie County and Custer County, illustrating how these administrative boundaries follow the natural breaks of the high plains. A prominent Pipeline cuts an artificial line east-to-west across the drainage of Flat Creek, marking the modern infrastructure layered over the traditional grazing lands. Evidence of subsurface exploration appears at a marked Drill Hole in the southwest, while the label Whitney identifies a high point in the eastern terrain. This sheet records the sparse but purposeful development of the region before the 1970s, focused primarily on water management and resource extraction across the coulees and buttes.
