1973 Map of Haystack Butte

About this map

Haystack Butte and Castle Rock Butte dominate the high plains of Butte County in the early 1970s, serving as primary landmarks in this sparsely populated cattle country. The drainage system of the South Fork Moreau River cuts through the northern landscape, joined by seasonal watercourses like Battle Creek and Hay Cr. This period in western South Dakota history shows a landscape defined by expansive ranching operations and isolated outposts, evidenced by the presence of Deschamps and the Moreau Sch.
