1969 Map of Loaf of Bread Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Loaf of Bread Butte stands as the central landmark in this corner of Custer County, overlooking a network of seasonal drainages that defined the ranching landscape of the late 1960s. The terrain is deeply incised by Fivemile Creek and Timothy Creek, showing a pattern of erosion characteristic of the Montana plains. Unlike many areas with developed townships, this landscape is defined by its watercourses and topographic features rather than settlements. Evidence of resource exploration appears in the north, where a Drill Hole is marked, suggesting the search for minerals or groundwater. The intricate branching of the North Fork and South Fork into smaller coulees like Johnson Creek and First Creek illustrates the complex drainage system that dictated movement and grazing across this section of the Great Plains.
