1970 Map of Hailstone Butte

About this map

The rolling prairies along the Oliver and Morton County border are defined by seasonal drainages and small rural landmarks in this 1970 field-checked survey. Hailstone Butte stands as a prominent elevation point, overlooking the winding paths of Hailstone Creek and Wilson Creek. The landscape is largely agricultural, marked by numerous springs and windmills that support the scattered homesteads. Evidence of early community life is preserved through local burial sites such as St Markus Cem and Bluegrass Cem, which remain as core historical identifiers for this sparsely populated region. In the southern portion of the map, the label Curlew marks the terrain near the rail corridor, while several Gravel Pit locations indicate the local extraction industry used for road maintenance across the county line.
