1993 Map of Irish Butte

About this map

Slim Buttes rise sharply in the northern portion of this landscape, contained within the Custer National Forest boundary. This high ground is defined by prominent formations such as Irish Butte and Adam and Eve Butte, alongside a network of seasonal water sources including Old Nail Spring and Fish Spring. The terrain transitions from these rugged heights to the lower reaches of the North Fork Moreau River valley, where the small settlement of Marty and the Guyer Sch reflect the rural infrastructure of the era. The land use outside the forest boundary is characterized by isolated operations such as Horton Ranch and Laflin Ranch, connected by unpaved routes like Hoover Road and Laflin Road. The presence of Deep Draw and Cowboy Creek highlights the drainage patterns that have historically shaped ranching life in this part of Harding County.
