About this map

The Pine Butte Swamp Nature Conservancy Preserve dominates this Teton County landscape, where the plains meet the front of the Rocky Mountains. The hydrology of the area is defined by the complex drainage of Lake Theboe and the branching systems of Willow Creek, including the North Fork and South Fork. A high density of family-named ranches, such as Bowman Ranch, Durr Ranch, and Yeager Ranch, indicates a long-standing ranching economy rooted in these foothills.

Evidence of earlier community centers appears at the Saypo (Site) and the Bellview Sch, located along Bellview Road. The map reveals the transition from the distinct elevation of Pine Butte to the drainages of Kade Creek and Kings Creek in the south. This 1995 revision provides a clear record of land management boundaries and water features like Fowler Coulee and North Coulee that have shaped local cattle operations for generations.
