1965 Map of Island Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Indian Island Butte rises as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape of southwestern Montana, situated within the Beaverhead National Forest. Recorded during a mid-1960s field check, the map captures a terrain defined by complex drainages and early human markers. Evidence of mineral exploration appears in the northern reaches at Prospects, while local education is anchored at Nicholia Sch near the banks of Nicholia Creek. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Simpson Creek, Tex Creek, and the North Fork of an unnamed drainage carving through the topography. Distinctive geographical features like Porcupine Canyon and Morrison Canyon illustrate the dissected nature of the area, while smaller water bodies like Coyote Lake and various Springs provide vital water sources in this high-country environment.
