1962 Map of Grassy Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

High plains ranching and rugged topography dominate this early 1960s landscape along the border of Toole and Liberty Counties. Notable landmarks such as Middle Butte and Gold Butte rise above a complex network of seasonal drainages, including Strawberry Creek and the curiously named Grandma Coulee. The map captures the remote operations of the T C Morris Ranch and Purnell Ranch, connected by primitive trails and the winding Strawberry Road. The emergence of modern energy infrastructure is evident through several Gas Wells and an extensive aboveground pipeline system that cuts across the coulees. This survey provides a precise record of water sources critical to the region's cattle operations, from Chicago Lake to the mineral-rich Alkali Spring.
