1964 Map of Lone Butte

About this map

Lone Butte rises as the primary landmark in this high-desert landscape of Clark County, Idaho. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Medicine Lodge Creek to the west and the meandering Cottonwood Creek through the center, illustrating the critical role of water in this arid region. This 1964 field-checked survey reveals an area largely dedicated to livestock and dryland farming, where small-scale infrastructure like a Water Tank and Storage Bin supported local operations. The map also records numerous Gravel Pits and Borrow Pits concentrated along the central plains, likely indicating material extraction for the construction of nearby roads and boundary fence lines, which are meticulously noted throughout the quadrangle.
