About this map

Pine Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this Teton County landscape, where the drainage systems of North Fork Willow Creek and South Fork Willow Creek define the ranching territory. The map captures the area just as the mid-century period was ending, documenting a network of established homesteads including Bowman Ranch, Durr Ranch, and Salmond Ranch.

A notable historical marker is the Saypo (Site), indicating a former settlement location near the waters of Lake Theboe. Educational and transit infrastructure is represented by the Bellview Sch and the Bellview Road, which served the local ranching families. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Long Ridge to the lower coulees like Fowler Coulee, illustrating the geographic variety of this Montana high plains region.
