1997 Map of Island Butte

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Island Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape within the Beaverhead National Forest, part of the Dillon Ranger District. The map captures a transition between the steeper elevations of Porcupine Canyon and the lower drainage basins where Nicholia Creek and Rock Creek converge. Human activity in this portion of Beaverhead County is reflected in isolated infrastructure and early industrial markers, including several Prospects located near Morrison Canyon. The presence of the Nicholia Sch and Whitworth Ranch indicates a history of sparse but established ranching and rural education. A complex network of water sources, from the isolated Coyote Lake to numerous named Springs and the South Fork of the creek system, highlights the critical importance of water management for survival and livestock in this environment.
