1974 Map of Lone Butte

About this map

Lone Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this portion of Logan County, surveyed in the mid-1970s. The landscape is defined by the drainages of Twin Butte Creek, which winds through the townships of Russell Springs, Logan, and Paxton. The map documents a period of resource extraction and local infrastructure, noted by a Quarry in the southern reaches and scattered industrial markers like a Drill Hole and Well. Evidence of the area's practical navigation is visible at several points where a Ford crosses the creek bed. A Radio Tower on the heights near Twin Butte indicates the technological layer of this rural environment, while the detailed contour lines illustrate the varied elevations and breaks typical of the Kansas high plains.
